A media boss says governors without their legislature's backing are sitting ducks. Television Continental news director Babajide Otitoju argued that lawmakers hold decisive power, referencing the impeachment push against Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy. He suggested the move targets their removal to install the assembly speaker as acting governor.
Otitoju cited the historical example of Kaduna State's Balarabe Musa, who was impeached. He implied the current charges against the deputy lack substantive grounds, framing the action as purely political maneuvering. The analysis underscores the critical need for executive figures to maintain legislative alliances to survive in office.
