The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has directed the immediate commencement of impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
This comes after Fubara, on Monday, declared that the 27 State Assembly lawmakers, who defected to APC, are non-existent.
The party’s Caretaker Committee (CTC) chairman in the State, Chief Tony Okocha, issued the directive at a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
He stated that the decision of the party followed the remarks by Fubara that the intervention of President Bola Tinubu in the political crisis rocking the state was only a political solution and not constitutional.

Recall that President Tinubu had summoned a meeting between Fubara and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, as part of efforts to resolve the political crisis in the state.
Okocha added that where the Assembly fails to commence the impeachment process against Fubara, the party will invoke the relevant sections of its constitution to discipline them as APC members.
