Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi, described the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers as a “compromise” to avert the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu. Fagbemi made this statement on Wednesday while speaking to State House Correspondents after meeting with President Bola Tinubu. “Don’t forget there was a notice of impeachment from the House of Assembly. If that impeachment had been allowed to take its full course, then the governor would have lost entirely and completely. “So, in a way, if you say it’s a compromise, I will agree. “If the impeachment process had continued, in the end would have seen both the governor and the deputy governor out of office for the remainder of the four-year term,” he said.
