Supporters of Governor Sim Fubara have taken over Rivers
State Government House.
The group is calling on the Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory to allow the governor do his job as the chief executive of the state.
Wike and his annointed candidate in the 2023 governorship
election have fallen out, and the fuss between them became public over the
weekend and transmogrified into a secessionist struggle for freedom and
self-determination for Fubara and his government.
Recall that there was a rift among members of the Rivers
State House of Assembly on Sunday as some of them commenced impeachment
proceedings against Governor Fubara.
Edison Ehie, Leader of the State House of Assembly, had
rejected the bid to impeach the governor, having not committed any impeachable
offense and was consequently removed as the majority leader.
DAILY POST also reports, however, that Edison was later
elected Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Some of the protesters who spoke to reporters, wondered why
the former governor would want to allegedly remain in control of the state he
governed for eight years.
