Siminalayi Fubara
A leader of the group, Esezi Obilor Rukani recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, such a move could trigger widespread unrest in Rivers State, so the 27 lawmakers pushing for Fubara’s removal should reconsider their actions because the people of Rivers State would resist any attempt to oust him.
He added that Governor Fubara has committed no crime that requires resignation from office.
His words, “We all know the process of impeachment. Before it even starts, the state will boil because the governor is a man of the masses. The governor might not do anything, but the masses have something to do because they voted for the lawmakers, and they will have something to tell them.
The governor may not fight them, but those who voted for them will. They didn’t send you there to foment trouble, and if you do, they will start recalling you.
Simplicity is not stupidity. The simple nature of the governor should not be taken for granted. If this governor were like some people who enjoy fighting, by now, Rivers State would have been in turmoil. But since he’s a man of peace, he is willing to give everything for the state to remain stable.
What crime has he committed that somebody is calling on him to resign? The last time, they wanted to impeach him without any explanation to the people. Now, some individuals who never meant well for the state are calling for him to resign or be impeached.
We stand with the governor. We are not even talking about this first term; what we are preparing our people for is the second term. Whether anybody likes it or not, the man will finish this first term in good health. He is a God-sent governor because what others couldn’t do, he has achieved.
The Speaker and other lawmakers must let peace reign. You were not sent there for war. If you abuse the reason for your election, we will recall you, and nothing will happen.”
WOW.
