FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, says heaven will not fall if the Martins Amaewhule-led House of Assembly impeaches his successor Siminalayi Fubara.
At a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, said there is nothing wrong if the lawmakers decide to sack Fubara for alleged impeachable offences including withholding their salaries for months.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) powerbroker said, “If you have committed an offence to be impeached, what’s wrong? Is it a criminal offence? It’s provided in the constitution. Am I a member of the Assembly?

“If you have committed an infraction of the constitution and the Assembly deems it fit to say, you should be impeached.
“I have heard people say: ‘Oh, if they impeach him, there will be a breakdown of law and order’. Rubbish! Nothing will happen”
Wike said if the Amaewhule-led House wasn’t disposed to peace, the Assembly would have gone on a six-month recess after the Supreme Court verdict. He rubbished the letter written to the Assembly by Fubara, saying he should have done better.
Recall on Friday, February 28, 2025, the Supreme Court handed a raft of decisions on the protracted political situation in Rivers State.
