Rivers Governor Siminalayi Fubara has said he has not committed any offence to warrant impeachment by the House of Assembly. He accused security agencies of compromise.
Fubara said this on Monday while addressing his supporters in the now-viral video seen by The Nation.
He assured the people of the state of getting the dividends of democracy, adding that he would speak on the matter at the appropriate time.
He challenged the lawmakers and others to clearly state his offence.
The Governor said he does not care about being impeached but vowed to resist an unjust process.
Fubara said: “From what I have seen the security agency is even compromised. They were shooting at me directly but it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day.
“When people here ask who is this Fubara? He is that man that was killed for his struggle. I am not against anybody. I’m not planning anything against anybody that I don’t know where these things are coming from.
“Let it be put on record that whoever masterminded this is trying to shift… I heard some people gathered to do whatever. That is purely rubbish. You can’t sit when there is problem and say you are doing anything.
“What are you doing? I’m the chief security officer. I’m the head of the government… whatever action that is taken here is null and void. For our good people, I know you are prayerful. You have been praying for me. God will see us to the end.
“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.
