The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has refuted claims that it called for the impeachment of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
This follows reports suggesting that the group had urged the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, to begin impeachment proceedings against Fubara after a Supreme Court ruling reinstated the pro-Nyesom Wike lawmakers, including Amaewhule.
In a statement on Saturday, Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s Secretary-General, Dr. Ezechi Chukwu, dismissed the allegation, saying, “That statement didn’t emanate from us. We don’t know anything about it; we don’t have any position on this matter, and we have nothing to say about it.”
He further urged the public and media to be cautious with unverified information, emphasizing the need for accurate sourcing.
The confusion came from a faction of Ohanaeze, which called on the Speaker to initiate impeachment proceedings, but the main body has distanced itself from this position.
