Rivers youths swarmed the streets on Monday in a nonviolent protest against Similanyi Fubara, the state governor, being impeached.
In a widely shared video, the youngsters can be seen en masse marching down the main thoroughfares in the Rivers city while shouting, “Go Abuja e, if Port Harcourt don’t taya you.” Wike, go to Abuja if Port Harcourt doesn’t suit you. Move to Abuja if you’re sick of Port Harcourt. Wike travels to Abuja.
On Monday, members of the state House of Assembly began the process of impeaching Fubara. The governor, meanwhile, asserted that he had done nothing to be removed from office.
He said, “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.
He added, “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.”
