The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, said Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State should be impeached if he has committed an impeachable offence.
Wike who made this remark during a media live chat, emphasised the importance of upholding the rule of law and criticising those in the governor’s inner circle.
He also praised those who challenged illegality and emphasised that elected officials should not be treated as subordinates.
Wike recounted how elder statesman Ferdinand Alabararba had fervently supported the emergence of an Ijaw governor, only to be disrespected by the individual he championed later.
