The Chairman of Youth Council of Nigeria (YCN), Rivers State chapter, Chijioke Chinwo has warned the state House of Assembly not to contemplate a fresh impeachment proceeding against the governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Chinwo, a loyalist of the governor disclosed that such ambition will not materialize because youths in the state are on alert to resist such the move, which he described as selfish.
He stated this at a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the state Capital, on Wednesday.
Chijioke Ihunwo, a former Chairman of the youth group in Obio/Akpor, the local government area of the Speaker of the State Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, said Governor Fubara has not done anything wrong to warrant an Impeachment.
The fresh call was made on Tuesday by the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the APC in the state, Tony Okocha.
He asked Mr. Okocha who is also from his local government area to refrain from making such inciting comments in the interest of peace in the state.
He also asked the 23 Local Government Chairmen whose tenure will expire on June 18 after a constitutional three year term to prepare to leave office, despite the said amendment of the Local Government Law to extend their tenure.
The youth leader called on President Bola Tinubu and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to watch closely the event in Rivers State and call the main actors, like the FCT Minister to order.
He urged Fubara not be deterred in executing his people-centred policies as the youths are ready to defend his mandate at all times.
