A pressure group, the Rivers Grassroots Movement (RGM), has accused members of the Rivers State House of Assembly of allegedly collaborating with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to stall development in the state.
Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt, the National Leader of the group, Sobomabo Jackrich, described the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, as selfish and against the interest of the people.
Jackrich advised the lawmakers to immediately withdraw the impeachment process and allow the state to focus on governance and development.
Also speaking, the 2023 governorship candidate of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), popularly known as Egberipapa, said the allegations against Governor Fubara and his deputy were malicious and baseless.
The RGM national leader further warned President Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the activities of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, could negatively affect the party’s chances of securing votes in Rivers State during the 2027 general elections.
