Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has invited 27 lawmakers aligned with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, for discussions. This move follows rising political tensions in the state.
The lawmakers, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, have been at odds with Fubara. Their allegiance to Wike has fueled a power struggle that has divided the state’s leadership. By reaching out, the governor signals a willingness to ease tensions and possibly find a solution.
Previously, these lawmakers had given Fubara an ultimatum, threatening impeachment if their demands were not met. While the exact conditions were not made public, their stance indicated deep dissatisfaction with the governor’s leadership.
The outcome of these talks remains uncertain. However, the invitation marks a significant step in addressing the crisis. Many are watching closely, hoping for a resolution that ensures stability and effective governance in Rivers State.
