APC Governors Unfazed by Impeachment Move Against River State Governor Amid Legal Hurdles

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, speaking on behalf of APC governors, expressed minimal concern over the impeachment move against River State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Sule emphasized the importance of due process and legal procedures in any impeachment process, indicating that the matter is currently in court.

The impeachment case against Fubara, initiated by Martin Amaewhul's faction in the River State House of Assembly, alleges gross misconduct, including financial impropriety and failure to fulfill legislative obligations. However, legal challenges, including court appeals and orders, have led to the indefinite adjournment of the case, with the judiciary refraining from constituting an investigative panel due to existing court orders.

This marks the third impeachment attempt against Fubara within a short period, amidst political rivalries with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. The situation underscores the legal complexities and political tensions surrounding the impeachment process in River State.
