Rivers crisis: Fubara speaks, accuses security personnel of compromise

Rivers Gov. Simi Fubara has described his alleged impeachment by the members of the State House of Assembly on Monday as null and void, describing the sitting where his impeachment process was purportedly being hatched as illegal.

The governor, who stormed the State Assembly complex on Monday with security men and aides, said there cannot be any legitimate sitting when the complex has been destroyed by fire.

Brimming with an air of confidence, he said: “I am still the head of government in this state. From what I have seen the security agencies are even compromised, they were shooting at me directly.

“I heard some people gathered here that is totally rubbish, you cannot sit when there is a problem and you said you are doing something, what are you doing.

“I am the chief security officer, I am the head of the government in this state, the only person that should create an alternative place for assembly to sit is me. So whatever action that is taken here is null and void,’’ he said.

Despite the fire that tore through the State Assembly complex on Sunday night, some lawmakers still gained access to the complex and immediately commenced plenary where they all signed the impeachment notice. A video of the Speaker Martins Amaewhule announcing the removal of the Majority Leader, Edison Ehie, has been trending on social media..
