The immediate-past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, says heaven will not fall if the Martins Amaewhule-led House of Assembly impeaches his successor Siminalayi Fubara.

Channels Television reports that Wike said this at a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday.

Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said there is nothing wrong if the lawmakers decide to sack Fubara for alleged impeachable offences including withholding their salaries for months.

“If you have committed an offence to be impeached, what’s wrong? Is it a criminal offence? It’s provided in the constitution. Am I a member of the Assembly?

“If you have committed an infraction of the constitution and the Assembly deems it fit to say, you should be impeached, what is wrong with that?.

“I have heard people say: ‘Oh, if they impeach him, there will be a breakdown of law and order’. Rubbish! Nothing will happen.”

Wike said if the Amaewhule-led House wasn’t disposed to peace, the Assembly would have gone on a six-month recess after the Supreme Court verdict.

He noted that Fubara should have done better than writing a letter to the Assembly.
