Thursday, March 13, 2025 - Rivers-based activist Jake Epelle on Thursday warned former governor Nyesom Wike to stop issuing impeachment threats against his estranged successor Siminalayi Fubara.
Epelle said Wike cannot advocate peace and yet spur his loyalists in the
Martins Amaewhule-led legislative body to impeach the sitting governor of the
oil-rich state.
“Let them go and try impeachment, they will not succeed,” Epelle said on
Channels Television’s The Morning Brief show.
“Nobody will impeach Fubara. I say that openly on national television
because he hasn’t committed any impeachable offence. Nobody will impeach him;
the people are solidly behind him.
“Will anything happen if he is impeached? No; the Rivers people are not
troublesome the way we are painted but we will stand behind him (Fubara) and
stand behind democracy.
“If we don’t stem the tide of this chaos, it can happen to any other person. This threat of impeachment going round should stop.”
