A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Austin Okai, has described the impeachment proceedings in Rivers State as an indication that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has betrayed Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Okai also stated that some elements in the presidency had scammed Fubara by refusing to intervene in the impeachment process.
He stated during a media interview, that Fubara “is having problems; APC has betrayed him.
“If the presidency is protecting him as some people were making up to him, by now the whole impeachment process should have died down; now he has gone to a local court for survival, his hope is hanging on the judiciary.
“You know that the presidency can scam somebody, they have scammed him. He cannot even have control of his own House of Assembly members representing the state, a sitting governor who does not have control of his own House of Assembly.”
The former Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the Dekina/Bassa federal constituency said the impeachment plot was aimed at making Fubara spend only one term in office.
He said, “There is a way out. If they don’t impeach him again and he does only one term is that not okay? I was expecting that by now, APC is supposed to have come to a stage of calling the Assembly members to order because as an APC governor, he is the leader of the party.
“Maybe they don’t need him; you will weigh the option, what does he have to offer when compared to what Wike has to offer? It’s a matter of choice at this moment, what does APC want?”
