By Nelson Utip

Karibo Wilson said any impeachment moves against Fubara is anti-people.

Karibo Wilson, a Stalwart of The People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State says any attempt to impeach Governor Simi Fubara is against the people of Rivers State, The PDP chieftain says he is confident that Governor Siminalayi Fubara enjoys great support from the people of the state.
He spoke on Channels Television’s LunchTime Politics on Monday.
Speaking on Channels TV yesterday, The PDP chieftain said traditional leaders, youths, and other segments of the populace have broad support for the governor.
“Rivers people are in support of Fubara—the elders, the traditional rulers, senior political and opinion leaders, the youths, women—they are in support,” he said.
The political crisis in Rivers State culminated into 27 PDP Lawmakers loyal to The Minister to The FCT and immediate past governor of the state Nyesom Wike defecting to APC. In a reverse move, several members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the APC joined the PDP over the weekend. Wilson, a former House of Assembly candidate for Ahoada West constituency said that he decamped to the PDP in the interest of the people of Rivers State. Wilson suspects the mass defection to APC by Lawmakers asserting that any impeachment move against Fubara is anti-people. The political crisis in the state and within the 32-member Assembly started from a discord between the governor and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) though he claims not to be a member of APC.
