Rivers crisis: Tinubu won’t take sides between Wike, Fubara —Presidency

***You lack moral standing to talk about impeachment, Rivers govt tells Ganduje-led APCThis came as the Rivers State government, yesterday took a swipe at the Abdulahi Ganduje-led All Progressives Congress, APC, over comment that Governor Siminalayi Fubara has committed impeachable offence.

Ngelale said anyone with the belief that President Tinubu would take their side in the political crisis would be disappointed. According to him, President Tinubu won’t allow any attempt to frustrate the Rivers government. Johnson noted that Fubara has not committed any offence that would warrant his impeachment, adding that Ganduje still has legal issues to clear himself from.

“I, therefore, condemn that statement and say that Ganduje should go and look for his political bearing back home. Ganduje is the chairman of APC on acting capacity and there are legal impediments. In law, there are pendency that are hanging on Ganduje which cannot allow him to stand on a good ground to talk.”Meanwhile, Rivers State elders and leaders in PDP and APC have warned Fubara not to tamper with structures at the House of Assembly quarters.

Amaewhule said the structures were in excellent condition, fully functional and were currently occupied by the lawmakers and their family members. “We have commissioned engineers and experts to study and give us the report of the integrity of these structures. We have received the report. And the report says these structures have a lifespan of nothing less than 25 years.

Meanwhile, the Rivers Caretaker Committee Chairman of the APC, Chief Okocha, has hailed the leaders and elders across party lines for moving to defend democracy, insisting that the 27 lawmakers remained members of the APC and that the party would continue to protect them. “As the father of our dear country, we call on Mr President to use his exalted office to caution the FCT Minister, and his co-travellers, who have declared total war on Rivers State, as seen by their daily actions against Rivers people and victimization of innocent citizens of Rivers State, both at home and beyond.”Meanwhile, Rivers State government, yesterday, said it had consulted experts, who were currently carrying out integrity test on the buildings of the state House of Assembly quarters.
