Wike Says Fubara Lost Rivers Political Battle Over Independent Structure
FCT Minister and former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike says Governor Siminalayi Fubara became the biggest loser in the political crisis that has divided Rivers State. Wike argued that Fubara weakened the political arrangement that brought him to office by moving to create an independent structure soon after the 2023 governorship election. The dispute later split the Rivers State House of Assembly into rival camps and intensified tensions between the executive and legislature. Fubara's supporters, however, see the conflict as a fight for the governor's independence and constitutional authority to run the state without undue interference. The prolonged feud has raised wider concerns about political stability, governance and the future of Rivers politics.
