No plot to impeach Gov Diri — Bayelsa assembly

Douye Diri

Bayelsa State House of Assembly has debunked rumour of plans to impeach Governor Douye Diri.

Chairman, House Committee on Information, Orientation and Strategy Tare Porri said at a press briefing on Tuesday that the rumour was false.

He added that the rumour was an attempt to distract the sixth assembly.

He said: “Let me for the umpteenth time on behalf of the leadership of sixth Bayelsa State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt Hon Abraham Ingobere, that the sixth Bayelsa House of Assembly has never at any point contemplated carrying out an impeachment against our highly esteemed miracle governor of Bayelsa State.

“As a matter of fact, the said rumour is unfounded, vexatious and is targeted at distracting the hard working sixth Bayelsa State House of Assembly. There is no feud between the state assembly and the executive arm. The assembly is working very hard in conjunction with the executive arm in order to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.”
