The Rivers State House of Assembly has commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, marking a fresh escalation in the ongoing political crisis in the state.
The move is widely seen as a continuation of the power struggle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Tensions between both camps have resurfaced in recent weeks, fueling uncertainty within the state’s political landscape.
Following the development, several political stakeholders and allies have begun offering advice to Governor Fubara on possible strategies to navigate the unfolding situation and prevent a breakdown of governance.
As of the time of filing this report, details of the impeachment allegations have not been officially disclosed, while the state government is yet to issue a formal response. Observers say the coming days will be critical in determining the direction of Rivers State politics.
