The River State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, said he has not committed any offence to warrant impeachment by the State House of Assembly.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that there has been tension in the state, following an alleged plot to impeach Mr Fubara by the lawmakers.
To perfect the plot, the House Majority Leader, Edison Ehie, who is reportedly loyal to the governor, was removed.
But speaking while addressing his supporters, who protested the development outside the Assembly Complex, the governor said he has not done anything to warrant an impeachment proceeding by the Assembly.
He also assured the people of the state of getting the dividends of democracy, adding that he would speak on the matter at the appropriate time.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment.
“Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time, I will address the press,” he said.
Reports say the governor fell out with his predecessor, Nyesome Woke, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
