Rivers Speaker Welcomes Fubara Loyalists to Wike's Camp

On October 7, 2026, Martin Chike Amaewhule, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, received a delegation of members from the defunct Simplified Movement, who are major loyalists of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, into the political camp of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister. The delegation, led by Hon. Solomon Abel Eke, the former Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, expressed their loyalty to Wike during the meeting.

They stated that the purpose of the meeting was to formally "return to the political family" and indicated their readiness to collaborate with the Rainbow Coalition in preparation for the 2027 general elections. Amaewhule welcomed the delegation and emphasized the importance of political stakeholders working together for the benefit of Rivers State.

He also urged those who had distanced themselves from the political family during the conflict between Fubara and Wike to return. Additionally, Wike and key members of the Rainbow Coalition visited Fubara at his residence in Port Harcourt on the same day.
