TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the Rivers State House of Assembly was on Sunday night set ablaze by yet to be known political thugs over the alleged move to impeach the State Governor.
Security operatives tried to stop Governor Fubara from gaining access into the Rivers State House of Assembly complex with water and teargas.
Addressing the youths of Rivers State at Government House, Port Harcourt, Governor Fubara said he has not committed any offence to warrant impeachment by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” the governor said while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex.
The governor, who assured the people of the state of getting the dividends of democracy, said he would speak on the matter at the appropriate time.
“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,” he said.
