OBEY COURT ORDER RESTRAINING IMPEACHMENT PROCESS AGAINST FUBARA, RIVERS APC TELLS CHIEF JUDGE


The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Chief Judge of the state to comply with a court injunction restraining him from taking any action related to impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the party emphasized the importance of respecting the rule of law and judicial orders in sustaining democracy, urging all stakeholders to act within constitutional limits. The APC maintained that the subsisting court order must be obeyed until it is set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The party warned that any action taken in defiance of the injunction could further escalate political tensions in the state, already grappling with a protracted crisis involving the executive and the legislature.

According to the APC, adherence to due process would help preserve institutional integrity and public confidence in the judiciary. The party also appealed to political actors to exercise restraint and allow legal processes to run their full course.
