Anderson Cooper's Take: Governor Fubara, Impeachment, And The Supreme Court's Ruling

A Stand Against Impeachment: The PDP's Firm Stance in Rivers State

Listen up, folks. The factional leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Working Committee in Rivers State has come out swinging against the impeachment notice served on Governor Siminalaye Fubara and his deputy. Led by Nname Ewor, this group is making it crystal clear that they believe the impeachment isn't in line with the Supreme Court’s directive. Let me break it down for you. When the Rivers House of Assembly served the notice, the PDP Working Committee was quick to respond, saying, "Hold up. This isn’t what the Supreme Court ordered." And they’re right. The Supreme Court didn’t mention impeachment in their February 28 ruling, so why are we even having this conversation?

Ewor's Plea for Peace and Compliance

Nname Ewor, the leader of the PDP Working Committee, took to the mic during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. His message was simple but powerful: let’s take the road of peace and focus on implementing the Supreme Court’s ruling instead of stirring up more drama with this impeachment talk. He emphasized that the impeachment notice isn’t part of the judgment, and there’s no reason for the House to entertain it when Governor Fubara is already working hard to comply with the court’s decision. It’s like trying to fix a car while someone else is suggesting you tear it apart. Doesn’t make sense, right?

A Call to Action: Implementing the Supreme Court’s Judgment

Ewor didn’t stop there. He went on to remind Governor Fubara of his responsibilities. “Governor,” he said, “you need to fully implement the Supreme Court judgment. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to conduct the local government elections. You’ve already dissolved the immediate past chairmen and councillors, which shows you’re committed to following the court’s orders. Keep pushing forward.”

But that’s not all. Ewor also urged the governor to stay focused on presenting the 2025 appropriation bill. He acknowledged that the first attempt was met with resistance from lawmakers, but he encouraged Fubara not to give up. “We’re counting on you to make this happen. The rescheduled date for the budget presentation is March 19. Let’s see some positive results then.”

Peace Above All Else

Ewor didn’t just focus on the governor. He extended his message to the entire House of Assembly, urging them to embrace peace and cooperate with Governor Fubara. He stressed that by working together and fulfilling the demands of the Supreme Court, they could finally bring an end to the political unrest that’s been plaguing the state. It’s a simple formula, really: peace, cooperation, and compliance with the court’s ruling equals stability for Rivers State.

So, here’s the bottom line, folks. The PDP Working Committee is standing firm against the impeachment notice, believing it’s unnecessary and not in line with the Supreme Court’s decision. They’re calling on everyone involved to come together, focus on the tasks at hand, and work towards a peaceful resolution. Let’s hope they listen because, at the end of the day, the people of Rivers State deserve nothing less than peace and progress.
