Political Tension in Rivers State as Wike and Fubara Camps Clash Over Commissioner Slots
Fresh political tension has erupted in Rivers State as Governor Nyesom Wike and the Fubara camp clash over commissioner slots, revealing deep-rooted power struggles. Despite attempts at reconciliation brokered by Bola Tinubu and a peace deal in June 2025, the rift remains unresolved.
Lawmakers led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule have rejected Fubara's new list of commissioner nominees, indicating a lack of consensus and ongoing influence battles within the state's political structure. The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is also involved, with claims of Governor Wike pushing for 12 commissioner slots to maintain control.
