Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has said he and other governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are not troubled by the impeachment process initiated against Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, who defected to the party weeks ago.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, January 29, Governor Sule was asked whether APC governors were concerned about the moves to remove Fubara from office. He responded that the process is strictly guided by the rule of law.
“I’m not worried because I think it’s an issue before the court. You don’t just wake up and impeach somebody without following due process. Of course, whatever happens to any of our colleagues is a concern, but we are not so worried as to conclude that he is going to be impeached,” Sule said.
He added that ongoing court rulings and actions taken by the state’s chief judge were already addressing the matter.
“From all indications, actions are being taken. The courts are making decisions, and the chief judge has taken a position. For that reason, we are not worried,” he stated.
Sule’s comments come amid renewed efforts by the Rivers State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Fubara over allegations of gross misconduct. However, the process has been stalled following a ruling by the State High Court.
