JUST IN: It’s Not Criminal Offence To Impeach Fubara –Wike

A former Rivers State governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says his enstranged successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, should be impeached if found wanting accordingly.

He said politics is no play and impeaching Fubara would not amount to a criminal offence.

Wike, who said this during a media live chat on Wednesday, lamented that “three lawmakers”, in veiled referenced to members of the state Assembly loyal to Fubara, could make legislation.

He said, “Politics is not play. If he has done something to be impeached, let them impeach him. It’s not a criminal offence,” Wike stated.

“I cannot believe that in this country, we are now at the point where Nigerians are talking about where three members of the House will sit and make a law, and they are talking about going to the Supreme Court. Do we need to go to work.”
