LunagisthubRivers Crisis: Fubara Impeachment Plot Raises Questions About Tinubu’s Influence
A fresh plot to impeach Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has sparked concerns about President Bola Tinubu’s ability to protect his party’s governors. Arise Television host Rufai Oseni has cautioned Tinubu against allowing the impeachment process to proceed, warning that it would be a significant indictment on the President’s leadership .
The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule, has initiated impeachment proceedings against Fubara, citing allegations of gross misconduct. The move is seen as a power struggle between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory .
President Tinubu has intervened in the crisis, summoning Wike for a meeting to discuss the ongoing feud. However, Oseni believes that Tinubu’s efforts may be too little, too late, and that Wike is currently holding the upper hand in the dispute .
If Fubara is impeached, it would not only affect his governorship but also raise questions about Tinubu’s ability to protect his party’s governors. Oseni argues that the state of emergency declared in Rivers State was meant to save Fubara, but the ongoing impeachment process nullifies that argument.
The outcome of this crisis remains uncertain, with many wondering if Tinubu will side with Fubara or allow the impeachment process to proceed. Will Wike’s influence prevail, or will Fubara manage to survive the political turmoil? Only time will tell .
