The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has asked members of Rivers State House of Assembly to quickly commence the impeachment process of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike following his alleged inability to guarantee the safety of lives and properties in the state.
Amaechi's call followed the killing of 21 church members returning from Crossover Service by unknown gunmen. He accused Wike of supporting militancy in furtherance of his political ambition, stressing that recent developments in the state have shown that he can no longer continue as governor of the state.
“I think the governor needs to get a bit more serious, he should stop encouraging the militant groups in the name of politics and election. You heard about 21 only in Omoku, what about in Akutoru where two persons were killed, what about other LGA.
“I think there should be much more than age to qualify to be a governor because it takes much more than age. I was governor of Rivers State, I did not play PDP/APC politics, life is life it has no symbol. Nobody has APC life or PDP life.
“The first responsibility of a governor which is what the oath of office requires is that you swear to protect lives and property. When you don’t protect life and property what do you do? Is impeachment. Unfortunately there is no House of Assembly in Rivers State,” he lamented.
