If you have committed an offence to be impeached, what\u2019s wrong? Is it a criminal offence? It\u2019s provided in the constitution,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have committed an infraction of the constitution and the Assembly deems it fit to say, you should be impeached.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard people say: \u2018Oh, if they impeach him, there will be a breakdown of law and order\u2019. Rubbish! Nothing will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wike defended his commitment to upholding due process and justice, expressing disbelief that a small group of lawmakers could enact legislation and expect it to stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot believe that in this country, we are now at the point where Nigerians are talking about where three members of the House will sit and make a law, and they are talking about going to the Supreme Court. Do we need to go to work?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeakers and Assembly members are not our children; they were elected; they are not your boys or your girls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You sit with them and play with them. I travelled with my Speakers, and I created relationships. It\u2019s not a master-servant thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wike added that he appreciated individuals who opposed unlawful actions, stressing that elected officials should never be treated as subordinates by those in power.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Tony Okocha, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers, called on Fubara to resign or face impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Okocha stated that the recent supreme court verdict on the state&#8217;s political conflict is final and described Fubara\u2019s invitation to the Amaewhule-led assembly faction as a \u201cGreek gift.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BACKSTORY<\/p>\n<p>Rivers State has been engulfed in a political crisis following the ongoing power struggle between Fubara and Wike, the FCT minister.<\/p>\n<p>On February 28, the supreme court upheld a federal high court ruling that prohibited the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the accountant-general from disbursing Rivers\u2019 statutory monthly allocations.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the supreme court annulled the local government elections held in Rivers State on October 5, 2024, a decision Fubara pledged to comply with.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the Rivers governor sent a letter inviting the Amaewhule-led house of assembly faction to a scheduled meeting on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Fubara\u2019s invitation was seen as an attempt to resolve the Rivers assembly crisis, which has persisted since 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, the FCT minister criticised Fubara for sending a letter to the assembly, arguing that he should have directly contacted Amaewhule and his team instead.<\/p>\n<p>Wike dismissed Fubara\u2019s letter as \u201cuseless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Fubara maintained that he had visited the quarters in obedience to the supreme court\u2019s judgment regarding the Rivers political crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wike stressed that assembly members are elected officials, not subordinates, and should be treated with respect.
