Rivers: Impeachment move against Fubara not linked to Wike – Lawmaker

The Spokesperson of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Enemi George, has dismissed reports linking the ongoing impeachment move against Governor Siminalayi Fubara to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Mixed reactions continue to trail the impeachment proceedings initiated on Thursday, with some saying that Wike may be at the centre of it.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, George emphasised that the Rivers lawmakers were acting strictly within constitutional provisions and not at the behest of any political figure.

When asked if Wike had a role in the impeachment move, the assembly spokesperson stated that mixing politics with constitutional responsibilities is dangerous.

“This is pouring oil into water, and those two don’t mix unless boiled. The FCT minister is a politician. If we begin to mix politics and constitutional matters, we will begin to cause trouble.

“I am not a party chief but a spokesperson of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

“Personally, I am politically aligned with the FCT minister, but it is insulting to reduce the activities of an institution created by the Constitution to just politics or an individual,” George said.
