Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natacha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has responded to reports of an alleged plan by members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Sim Fubara.
In a video message posted on her social media platform, Tacha challenged the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to explain to the public the offenses committed by the governor that would justify his impeachment.
The reality star, hailing from Port Harcourt, expressed her disappointment that, at a time when the Governor was still settling into office and the citizens were attempting to understand his policies, the state lawmakers were seemingly plotting an impeachment without apparent cause.
She said, “You people see what’s currently going on in Rivers State, right? These are things I talked about months ago but some of you said, ‘Rest, what do you know about politics?’ You forgot that what goes around, comes around.
“Who do you tell me that a sitting Governor they are trying to impeach him. This is a Governor who just assumed office. We [citizens] are trying to understand his ideas and plans for Rivers State and they [lawmakers] are planning to impeach him with no reason. If na say okay they are telling us Sim Fubara did this, this is the reason why he needs to be impeached. He did that, he stole this. At least that would be making sense. But they are trying to impeach a Governor that has done nothing.
“How can a current Governor be getting teargassed and they are pouring water on him? What will happen to me and you? So, we are just ***. That’s what it is na.
“Tell us what Sim Fubara has done and we would stand by you and chase him out. This Governor just got into seat, let us give him a chance to show what his plans are for Rivers State. I’m sure he has good plans.
“Rivers State people stand by your Governor.”
