Joe Igbokwe, an APC chieftain, has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene promptly in Rivers State’s ongoing political crisis.

The crisis birthed by the renewed hostility between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, escalated on Thursday with members of the House of Assembly commencing impeachment process against the governor and his deputy.

Reacting, Igbokwe in a Facebook post, condemned the impeachment plot, saying he will not support it for any reason.

“I will not support the impeachment of Governor Fubara for any reason whatsoever.

“PBAT should intervene to stop the distractions in the oil rich state. The State has been in the news for the wrong reasons”.
