Abdul-Azeez Adediran, known as Jandor, says Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State remains politically safe within the APC despite renewed impeachment threats.
The Rivers House of Assembly initiated fresh impeachment proceedings against Mr Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.

The proceedings, which began on Thursday, are based on allegations of misconduct levelled against the governor and his deputy.
The impeachment move is linked to the lingering political crisis between Mr Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is the minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

Mr Adediran, the 2023 PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State, spoke after participating in the APC’s e-registration exercise at Ward G, Irewe, Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos.
He expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would restore order and prevent political instability in Rivers.
According to him, unlike the PDP, the APC has strong leadership and a clear dispute-resolution structure anchored by President Tinubu.
“When impeachment first came up under the PDP, I feared for him because that party lacks leadership and a clear structure.
“But now it is impeachment 2.0 in APC, with APC lawmakers, I have no fear at all.
“APC is not PDP. It has party supremacy and a clear leadership structure. We know where the buck stops,” Mr Adediran said.
He said he believed President Tinubu would “call everybody to order” and ensure the crisis was resolved peacefully.
Mr Adediran disclosed that the president had already invited Governor Fubara and Minister Wike over the matter.
He urged Rivers residents and the APC members to remain calm, expressing confidence that the party’s leadership would guarantee peace and political stability.
