Rivers State Faces Political Tension as Coalition Issues Warning Against Impeachment
A group of influential figures in Rivers State, Nigeria, has issued a warning to the state assembly, stating that impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara would be met with citizen resistance and potentially lead to chaos. The coalition claims the proceedings are politically motivated and lack due process.
According to Punch, this threat has caused widespread concern, with many fearing violence and chaos if the situation escalates. The state is on high alert, and the fate of Governor Fubara's administration and peace in Rivers State hang in the balance.
Residents are divided, with some calling for calm and a peaceful resolution while others prepare for confrontation. The situation remains tense, and the state assembly's response and next actions are eagerly awaited.
The Coalition of Southern Advocates for Peace has condemned protests against Governor Fubara, describing them as provocative and potentially leading to anarchy ¹. In a positive development, President Bola Tinubu's intervention led to an eight-point resolution aimed at restoring peace in Rivers State ². However, the political situation remains delicate, and the need for a peaceful resolution is urgent.
