The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Saturday, denied claims that it had called on the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, to commence impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
The organisation stated that it had no position on the political crisis in the state, adding that the report did not originate from Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
A faction of the group, on Saturday, urged the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, to begin an impeachment process against Governor Fubara.
This followed the Supreme Court verdict on Friday, which reinstated the sacked pro-Nyesom Wike lawmakers, including Speaker Amaewhule.
However, speaking with Sunday on Saturday, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Ezechi Chukwu, dismissed the claim that the organisation had called for Fubara’s impeachment.
He said, “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.
