The Supreme Court Didn’t Impeach Governor Fubara – Joseph Johnson

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has come out to dismiss fears of impeachment.

This is coming following Friday’s Supreme Court judgment recognizing the 27 lawmakers loyal to ex-governor, Nyesom Wike, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, Governor Fubara will obey the law, respect the sanctity of the law, and respect the opinions of Rivers people, plus he will never be fazed by the shenanigans of detractors of the state.

He added that the Supreme Court didn’t remove the governor, it merely withheld the allocations of Rivers State.

His words, “Afraid of what? The governor is on his toes and he has the mandate of the Rivers people. The governor will obey the law, respect the sanctity of the law and respect the opinions of Rivers people.

We are beginning the inauguration of projects on Monday and in the next 10 days, we will be inaugurating projects.

The governor is not daunted by the shenanigans of detractors of the state.

The Supreme Court didn’t remove the governor. It merely withholds the allocations of Rivers State.

I cannot say whether we will implement it or not. Let us see what the judgment says, evaluate it and then we will be able to do according to the law without hurting the law or Rivers people.

We got a judgment from the Rivers State High Court that said they are no longer members of the state Assembly.

We got to the Court of Appeal, which said that a state High Court had no jurisdiction.

If you follow this move, you will agree that obviously the Supreme Court, which is the apex court that we respect, made a pronouncement based on the facts before it.”

WOW.
