At a press conference in Port Harcourt on Monday, Minority Leader Sylvanus Nwankwo, representing Omuma state constituency, and Peter Abbey, representing Degema Constituency, appealed to their colleagues at the Rivers State House of Assembly to reconsider the impeachment action.
“Rivers State issued a notice of impeachment on Governor Fubara and his Deputy. We appeal to our fellow colleagues to temper justice with mercy and see how we can solve this matter without the impeachment proceedings,” they stated.
“Having listened to so many calls from our elders and leaders, both within and outside the state, we are begging our colleagues to reconsider our steps and see how this matter can be resolved amicably even though the governor and his deputy have infringed on the Constitution.”
