Fubara’s Impeachment an Indictment on Tinubu’s Ability to Protect APC Govs — Rufai Oseni

Rufai Oseni, the Arise News TV anchor, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against allowing the planned impeachment of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to proceed.

Oseni said the impeachment move would amount to an indictment of Tinubu’s ability to protect governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a post on his X handle, he stated that “if Fubara is impeached, then it’s a big indictment on President Tinubu’s ability to protect APC governors.”

He also dismissed claims by some government officials that the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State was meant to safeguard the governor, arguing that the impeachment process had rendered such claims invalid.

“Also, for those government officials who say the state of emergency was to save Fubara, that argument has been nullified by this impeachment notice,” he stated.

According to Oseni, the situation in the state remains unresolved despite the emergency measures implemented by the president.

Despite the state of emergency, no peace or settlement. President Tinubu’s state of emergency didn’t save Fubara because an impeachment is still going ahead,” he added.

He further claimed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, currently holds the upper hand in the political battle.

“One thing is certain currently: Wike is leading in this fight. Wike 100, President Tinubu 50,” Oseni wrote.

Oseni raised several questions about the possible outcome of the crisis, including whether Tinubu would intervene in favour of Fubara and the role of the judiciary in the process.

“Will President Tinubu be able to save Fubara from Wike? Will President Tinubu side with Fubara?

“Will the Chief Judge go ahead with the process? Will the court order hold?

“Will Wike work against Tinubu and probably join the opposition? Time will tell,” he added.
