Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, known as Jandor, says Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, remains politically safe within the APC in spite of renewed impeachment threats.
The Rivers House of Assembly has initiated fresh impeachment proceedings against Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu.
The proceedings, which began on Thursday, are based on allegations of misconduct levelled against the governor and his deputy.
The impeachment threats are linked to the lingering political crisis between Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Nyesom Wike.
Adediran, 2023 Lagos governorship candidate under PDP, spoke after participating in APCβs e-registration exercise at Ward G, Irewe, Ojo Local Government.
He expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubuβs leadership would restore order and prevent political instability in Rivers State.
According to him, unlike the PDP, the APC has strong leadership and a clear dispute-resolution structure anchored by President Tinubu.
βWhen impeachment first came up under the PDP, I feared for him because that party lacks leadership and a clear structure.
βBut now it is impeachment 2.0 in APC, with APC lawmakers, I have no fear at all.
βAPC is not PDP. It has party supremacy and a clear leadership structure. We know where the buck stops,β Adediran said.
He said he believed President Tinubu would βcall everybody to orderβ and ensure the crisis was resolved peacefully.
Adediran disclosed that the President had already summoned Fubara and Wike over the matter.
He urged Rivers residents and APC members to remain calm, expressing confidence that the partyβs leadership would guarantee peace and political stability.
