Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Monday dismissed the possibility of impeachment following the impeachment notice on him by the Rivers House of Assembly.
Fubara argued that he had committed no crime worthy of impeachment by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
He made the remarks while speaking to his supporters at the Port Harcourt Assembly Complex.
The governor told the people of the state that they will reap the benefits of democracy.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment.
“Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time, I will address the press,” he said.
The House has since served an impeachment notice Fubara following the removal of Edison Ehie as House leader.
Members fled for cover as tear gas was fired outside the Complex during the House crisis.
