The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on the Chief Judge of the state to obey a subsisting court order restraining any move linked to the impeachment of Gov. Siminalayi Fubara.
The party said on Monday that the judiciary must uphold the rule of law and avoid actions that could plunge the state into a constitutional crisis. In a statement, the APC urged the Chief Judge to respect the court order, warning that any contrary step would amount to a breach of due process.
The party said it was aware of political pressure surrounding the impeachment process but stressed that courts must remain impartial and guided strictly by the law. It said adherence to judicial orders was critical to maintaining public confidence in the legal system.
The APC added that all parties involved in the Rivers political crisis should allow the courts to determine the matter, rather than resort to actions that could undermine democracy and stability in the state.
