Ohanaeze Ndigbo has distanced itself from a call by a faction of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation for the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
The faction had urged the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, to commence impeachment proceedings against Fubara.
The nudge is coming on the heels of the Supreme Court’s judgment that ruled in favour of Amaewhule-led House.
Speaking on the impeachment call, the mainstream Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s Secretary-General Dr Ezechi Chukwu, dismissed the report.
“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.
“We are not associated with it. Members of the public, including the media, should always be careful about where they get information. They must verify any information,” Dr Chukwu said.
