Plot To Impeach Fubara Coup Against Democracy, Nigerian Youth Leaders Warn


The Coalition of Nigerian Youth Leaders (CONYL), the umbrella body of all Nigerian youths in South-South, South-East, South-West, North-East, North-Central, and North-West geopolitical zones has condemned, in strongest terms, the attack on the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Similanayi Fubara, by policemen and other security agents using life bullets, teargas and other weapons, and plot to impeach the dully elected governor using the instrumentality of the Rivers State House of Assembly. 

The coalition made the condemnation in a joint statement signed by President General, Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), and Leader of CONYL, Comrade Goodluck Ibem; South-South Youth Coalition (SSYC), Comrade Iniobong Sampson; and Arewa Youth Vanguard For Good Governance (AYVGG), Comrade Junaid Abubakar km Tuesday.

The statement read: "The attack on Governor Fubara by security agents with life bullets, teargas and other weapons is a confirmation that there were on a mission to assassinate the Governor. This is madness taken too far and we condemn it in its entirety.  

"It is very clear to all that the Governor has done nothing  wrong to warrant an impeachment but because he has refused to share the commonwealth of the good people of Rivers State to a few, some persons wants him impeached. But we the people say a capital "NO" to their evil plot on our democracy.  

"It amounts to a coup against democracy for some persons to contemplate impeaching a governor that has barely stayed for 4 months in office who have not committed any impeachable offence whatsoever. These shows that some anti-democratic forces are at work and we warn them to stay clear from Rivers State. 

"It is very unfortunate that some security agents and  members of the Rivers State House of Assembly will allow themselves to be used by selfish individuals who do no mean well for the state to cause disaffection and uproar in the peaceful state of Rivers. 

"Governor Fubara was elected by the good people of Rivers State to govern them and he should be allowed to do the job freely given to him by the good people of Rivers State without any form of interference from any quarters. 

"Rivers State is too big for anyone or a few group of persons to think they can just wakeup and order the impeachment of the executive governor elected by the people. Nigerians have overgrown that era and stage.

"We will mobilize 2 million Nigerian youths in solidarity to Governor Fubara for effective delivery of democracy dividends to the people of Rivers State who freely gave him his mandate. 

"We call on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to immediately arrest and prosecute those security agents who attacked Governor Fubara with life bullets, teargas and other dangerous weapons. The law must take it's full cause on those airing  officers.

"We call on Governor Similanayi Fubara to stand firm and strong to defend the mandate freely given to him by the good people of Rivers State who defied the rain, sun and harsh weather to cast their votes for him during the elections. It is him that the people know and it is him that they people will hold accountable. 

"We call on the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly not to allow themselves to be used by anyone to cause disaffection and uproar in the state. 

"We call on all Nigerians to standup in defense of democracy in Rivers State that is under attack by a few selfish individuals. 

"We urge good people of Rivers state to stand solidly behind Governor Fubara who mean well for the state and is fully prepared to move the state to another level of growth and development."

Stop Creating Enmity, It'll Hurt You, Gov Fubara Warns Partisan Police Officers •Donates 100 Vehicles To Cut Response Time To Emergencies

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has advised partisan police officers who abandon their core professional responsibilities to pursue vested political interests to know that the enmity they fuel and eventually create will hurt them in the long run. Governor Fubara maintained that police officers are engaged and trained as professionals to protect lives and property while contributing to the desired peace in the State as a patriotic duty. The Governor insisted that it is, therefore, an aberration for any of them to think that protecting any particular individual or being one-sided in the political affairs to the detriment of the State amounts to professionalism. Governor Fubara gave the advise at the inauguration and formal handover of 100 operational vehicles acquired by his administration to the Rivers State Police Command at the Sharks Football Stadium in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
