The founder of the Lagos4Lagos movement, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has said Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains politically safe within the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite renewed impeachment threats.
Mr Adediran said this while reacting to the Rivers State House of Assembly’s initiation of fresh impeachment proceedings against Mr Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, over allegations of misconduct, linked to the lingering political crisis between the governor and his predecessor, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking after participating in the APC’s e-registration exercise at Ward G, Irewe, Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, Mr Adediran expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s leadership to resolve the crisis. According to him, unlike the PDP, the APC has strong leadership and a clear dispute-resolution structure anchored by Mr Tinubu.
“When impeachment first came up under the PDP, I feared for him because that party lacks leadership and a clear structure. But now it is impeachment 2.0 in APC, with APC lawmakers; I have no fear at all. APC is not PDP. It has party supremacy and a clear leadership structure. We know where the buck stops,” he said, adding that the president had already summoned Messrs Fubara and Wike and urging Rivers residents and APC members to remain calm.
