The National Assembly has taken fresh steps to address the deepening political crisis in Rivers State between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, now FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

The crisis escalated following fierce power struggles between the governor and his predecessor, culminating in legislative disputes, budgetary clashes, and even the bombing of a section of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex,

In March 2025, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state, suspending Governor Fubara, his deputy, and all lawmakers. An interim administrator, a retired navy vice admiral, was appointed to restore order..

Observers hope the latest move will mark the beginning of a peaceful resolution and the reestablishment of democratic stability in the state.
