The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said the party is actively intervening to address the impeachment moves against Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Yilwatda made this known on Sunday while responding to questions during an interview on Trust TV.
In recent weeks, the Rivers State political space has been tense, following moves by members of the State House of Assembly to initiate impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
However, the APC national chairman disclosed that the party has begun efforts to halt and reverse the impeachment process, describing it as an internal party matter.
“Are you hearing anything about the impeachment of Rivers State Governor Fubara again? We are discussing this with the lawmakers because that is an internal party issue,” Yilwatda said.
He explained that the APC has established internal mechanisms for resolving conflicts within the party, noting that such structures distinguish the party from others.
“That is why the APC is different from any other party. We have a lot of mechanisms for resolving our internal issues. We have a lot of mechanisms that we have put in place that can resolve and self-heal the party when we have injuries, and that’s what we’re doing in Rivers,” he stated.
According to him, the party is focused on stabilising the political situation in Rivers State to strengthen its chances ahead of future elections.
“We’re self-healing the process in Rivers. We’re ensuring that we stabilize Rivers State and we maximize opportunities in Rivers State so that we can win and win overwhelmingly in the state,” Yilwatda added.
