Four members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who earlier held separate press briefings urging their colleagues to forgive Governor Siminalayi Fubara and drop the impeachment move, have now reversed their stance, calling for the continuation of the impeachment proceedings at a joint press briefing.

Port Harcourt Pressure Group Condemns Impeachment Move Against Fubara, Backs Governor The Port Harcourt Township United Pressure Group has strongly condemned the Rivers State House of Assembly over its notice of impeachment against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, describing the move as a renewed attempt to plunge the state into political crisis. Speaking during a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the President of the group, Prince Tamunokuro John, said the lawmakers led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, were once again placing Rivers State on a “dangerous path,” similar to events that previously resulted in a state of emergency. Prince John recalled that the earlier political crisis, which led to emergency rule between March and September last year, caused significant social, economic, political, financial, and administrative losses to the state. He warned that any attempt to repeat such actions would be harmful to the people of Rivers State. According to hi...

Fresh uncertainty has enveloped the Rivers State House of Assembly following the abrupt shelving of a planned legislative sitting amid reports of an alleged move to impeach Speaker Martin Amaewhule. The sudden decision, announced on Wednesday, has further intensified the protracted political crisis rocking the state, raising concerns over stability within the legislative arm of government. Although no official reason was given for the suspension of the sitting, sources within the Assembly linked the move to growing internal divisions and rumours of an impeachment plot targeting the Speaker. The development comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions between rival blocs within the House, as well as the wider political standoff involving key actors in the state’s governance structure. Lawmakers were expected to deliberate on pending legislative matters before the sitting was called off. Political observers warn that the continued uncertainty could further paralyse legis...

Popular cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has stirred controversy after making remarks about Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. According to the cleric, the governor’s present political struggles are a result of actions from a supposed past life, insisting that even the backing of all APC governors would not change his fate. Primate Ayodele further suggested that in another lifetime, Fubara should aspire to be as influential as his political ally and former governor, Nyesom Wike. The comments have since sparked reactions online, with critics accusing the cleric of making statements that mock Christian doctrine and promote spiritual sensationalism.

The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Nyesom Wike has asked Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to apologise to the FCT minister within 48 hours. On Monday, Basiru asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers state politics. Wike had asked the APC national secretary to stay off Rivers politics. In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Etim Isong, factional zonal publicity secretary of the PDP south-south, the faction condemned Basiru’s “personal attack” on Wike. The group said Basiru’s remarks were inappropriate and capable of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election. The statement said it was perplexing that Basiru, who “failed to produce a governor for the APC” in Osun state in 2023, would seek to question the political relevance of Wike in Rivers state. The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s suppor...
