Similanyi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, has accused security agencies in the state of compromise in their handling of the crisis rocking the state.
Cuba’s was reacting to the removal of Edie Edison as Majority Leader of the Rivers House of Assembly on Monday.

Addressing the crowd after visiting the complex, he said: “From what I have seen the security agency is even compromised. They were shooting at me directly but it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day.
“When people here ask who is this Fubara? He is that man that was killed for his struggle. I am not against anybody. I’m not planning anything against anybody that I don’t know where these things are coming from.”
He said, “I know how you people are feeling, just take it easy. Great Rivers State youths. Great! When we are young, we have power.

“But the difference with our own power is we will not misuse it. We woke up this morning to some very troubling news. We have gone to the Assembly to see for ourselves what has happened.

“On my way there, I was shot at directly by the (sic) operation, or whatever they call it. But it doesn’t matter; somebody will die one day whether you die inside your house or on the road. So my journey today, whatever it is that wants to happen, let it happen.”

The governor had earlier declared that he had not committed any intractable offence to warrant the state House of Assembly to contemplate such.

Addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex, shortly after the House members, led by their Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, convened to begin his impeachment process, the governor added: “Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” he said.

“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.”

There had been gunshots and firing of teargas within the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex on Monday as some lawmakers sat to begin an impeachment process on Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Edison Ehie, and some of their colleagues believed to be loyal to the governor were also suspended by the lawmakers.

Fire had also broken out at the Assembly Complex on Sunday night after an explosion.
It is perceived that the crisis is as a result of falling apart between the Governor Fubsra and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
