The All Progressives Congress (APC) has firmly rejected any attempt to impeach Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, declaring that it will take all lawful steps to resist such a move.
Party leaders made this position known while addressing supporters and stakeholders, describing the impeachment talk as unnecessary, destabilizing, and harmful to democratic governance in the state. According to the APC, removing an elected governor through political pressure rather than constitutional procedures would undermine the will of the people and threaten political stability.
The party emphasized that while disagreement and opposition are normal in a democratic system, they must be handled within the bounds of the law and due process. APC representatives warned that impeachment should not be used as a political weapon or tool for settling scores, stressing that such actions often lead to tension, division, and governance paralysis.
They further stated that Governor Fubara was duly elected and should be allowed to carry out his mandate without intimidation. The party argued that performance, accountability, and service delivery—not political rivalry—should be the basis on which any administration is judged.
The APC also called on lawmakers and political actors in the state to prioritize peace and dialogue over confrontation. It urged all sides to de-escalate tensions and focus on issues that directly affect the welfare of Rivers State residents, including security, infrastructure, and economic development.
Supporters of the party echoed these sentiments, warning that any move to impeach the governor could spark unrest and distract from governance. They appealed to security agencies to remain neutral and ensure that democratic institutions are protected from abuse.
In conclusion, the APC reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles and constitutional order, insisting that it will oppose any effort to remove Governor Fubara through what it described as improper or politically motivated means.
