Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed his strong disapproval of the attempt to impeach Governor Sim Fubara in Rivers State. The state was in a state of chaos on Monday as House of Assembly lawmakers made an attempt to impeach the governor.
Recall that the state was thrown into a state of chaos yesterday after lawmakers attempted to impeach the Governor on Monday.
This resulted in the leader of the House being removed while a factional speaker emerged.
Speaking on the development, the elder statesman described the situation as despicable.
He called on the elders to call the actors to order before things get out of hand in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-controlled oil-rich state.
George shared his concerns during an appearance on Monday’s edition of Channels Television’s current affairs show Politics Today.
According to him, “What I will tell all sides is that, like I said, we need elders in the room who would call everybody to order. What is happening in Rivers is despicable. It is heart rendering and I am very unhappy because Rivers is almost a one-party state.
“And for such a thing to be happening at this particular time, it’s bothering me, and the party must immediately get involved. The elections are over, the tribunal and electoral process is also over and now let’s come and rebuild the party.
“All those broken areas must be patched up so that we can remain the indivisible and undefeatable party for the future. I am very sad about what is going on in Rivers State.
“All sides should calm down. Let the elders get involved to be able to resolve the crisis. In an organisation, yes, you would have differences. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Please, all sides should calm down and walk the part of honour.”
