Rivers youths took to the streets in a peaceful protest on Monday to denounce the impeachment of the state governor, Similanyi Fubara.
The youths, in their numbers, were seen in a viral video marching through major roads and streets in the Rivers metropolis chanting, “If Port Harcourt don taya you, go Abuja e. If Port Harcourt doesn’t taya you, go to Abuja e” (If you’re sick of Port Harcourt, relocate to Abuja. Wike travels to Abuja).
On Monday, members of the state House of Assembly initiated an impeachment action against Fubara. Meanwhile, the governor maintained that he has done nothing to merit impeachment.
He said, “Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” the governor said while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex.
He added, “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.”
