The crisis between the governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara and his political god-father and Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, is far from being over, as the members of the Assembly loyal to Wike have started an impeachment proceeding against the embattled governor.
Arising from the crisis, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency which led to the suspension of governor Fubara for six months in March 2025. The suspension was lifted last September.
There was a claim that there was a political agreement between Wike and Fubara before Tinubu prior to the lifting of the emergency rule in the State.
And, in a move seen by many as a lasting solution and a reprieve for the embattled governor, he defected to the president’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), but in view of the present impeachment move, no one knows where Fubara’s fate might land him.
