Political Crisis Escalates in Rivers State as Wike-backed Lawmakers Clash with Fubara Faction
The article highlights the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State between Governor Wike-backed lawmakers and those loyal to Siminalayi Fubara. The conflict, which began in late 2023, intensified in 2024 when Fubara declared seats vacant, sparking tensions.
President Tinubu intervened, suspending Fubara and declaring a state of emergency. However, fresh tensions arose in December 2025 when Speaker Amaewhule criticized the government's neglect of public schools.
This led to more defections and further political turmoil in the state.
