The crisis in Rivers State, which erupted three months ago, led to the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and members of the State House of Assembly. President Bola Tinubu had earlier declared a state of emergency in the state and placed Governor Fubara on a six-month suspension.

In recent developments, Governor Fubara has held talks with President Tinubu and the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, his former political ally turned rival, in a bid to mend fences. Wike has publicly expressed willingness to reconcile and urged Fubara to engage other stakeholders in the state to facilitate peace.

As tension continues, all eyes remain on the National Assembly’s intervention to chart a path toward resolution and stability in Rivers State.
