Amaechi, Oshiomhole Dare Jonathan Over Impeachment Allegations

Gov. Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state and Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state have said neither the Presidency nor the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) could impeach them as they did with former governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Murtala Nyako. The duo said they are not losing sleep over the alleged plot by the Presidency to push for their impeachment, Punch reports. 

Speaking through his Chief of Staff, Chief Tony Okocha, Gov. Amaechi said he and his followers were aware of the threat of impeachment in order to force him back to the PDP, but it would not work as twenty-five PDP Assembly members have all defected formerly to the APC, thereby foreclosing any thought of his (Amaechi) removal as the state governor. 

Amaechi who described the threat as a dull dream and a wild goose chase, said he would not quit politics as a result of the threat to impeach him or force him to join the PDP, and that his political future is in the hands of God and the people of the state. He said, “People are defecting enmasse to APC. So, they need to come and break our ranks here before they can achieve their plan. The threat to impeach Amaechi so that he will return to the PDP will not work; it is wishy-washy, it is a dull dream.

Following the proposed rally by the #BringBackOurGirls protesters to commemorate 100 days since over 200 girls of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents, the federal government yesterday cautioned parents and guardians against releasing their children and wards to take part in the rally.

The Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, gave this advice during the routine briefing on federal government’s mission to rescue the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
“Information available to us is that some groups are planning to mobilize children across the country to hold rally to mark 100 days since the Chibok schoolgirls were abducted from their school.

“It will be wise for parents not to allow their children to participate and if they want to, they should be conscious of whom they are releasing their children to for the rally”, Omeri said.
The NIC, however, stressed that government is not preventing citizens from exercising their constitutional rights even as it explained that it will be proper if the security situation in the country is not worsened.
