Feelers from Rivers State indicate that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is contemplating to resign or face impeachment process.

Sources close to the embattled Governor say he is consulting his political allies on the next to honourably resign or fight till end.

Another source said that Sim told his confidants that he would rather resign than appear before the Amaewhule led Assembly nor wait to be impeached.

The crisis entrepreneurs told him to hand on, and courageously fight to the end. That self-seeking advice is reminiscent of what Macbeth did when all the forces were against him: Macduff and his forces advancing against him. Macbeth helplessly yelped:

In the circumstance, the honourable option now for Governor Fubara is RESIGNATION! That would make him a hero of a sort.

However, the public is watching how the event would unfold, as we are in an interesting time.

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has called Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, to resign from office within 48 hours or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.

Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, made the call on Monday morning while briefing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Okocha accused Fubara of insulting President Bola Tinubu, when he attempted to proffer a political solution to the crisis in the state.

He said: “As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President and we told him that we cannot be here and have him to disrespect Mr. President.

“The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidences. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.

“48 hours is too much to give him as ultimatum. He should just resign honourably.”

Founder of Anap Foundation, Atedo Peterside, says the suspension of Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, by the Senate is an insult to her constituents.

In a post on X on Sunday, the founder of Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc described the suspension of the female lawmaker as disturbing.

“The most disturbing aspect of the Nigerian Senate hullabaloo around Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is that the Senate Leadership must be aware that her suspension for six months is ultra vires and also disrespectful to her constituents in Kogi State, but they don’t care,” Peterside stated, pledging that he stands with the female lawmaker amid her ordeal.
