Fubara:Lawmakers Will Throw Him Out, There’s Nothing Like The Chief Judge Setting Up Any Panel-Lloyd

The State’s House of Representatives caucus has criticized former Governor Seriake Dickson over his position on the declaration of an emergency rule in Rivers State. Meanwhile, reports have emerged that the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, is making renewed attempts to reconcile with his former ally and political mentor, Nyesom Wike.

According to THE NATION, Governor Fubara reportedly visited Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, at his Abuja residence for peace talks. While the exact nature of their discussions remains undisclosed, the meeting took place amid growing calls from various political actors and supporters for Fubara’s reinstatement.

Supporters of the embattled governor had hoped that President Bola Tinubu would address Fubara’s suspension and the ongoing emergency rule in Rivers State during his Democracy Day speech. However, these expectations went unmet, leaving the political situation in the state unresolved.

Despite reaching out to Wike, sources revealed that Fubara has not made any attempts to reconcile with the pro-Wike legislators in the state House of Assembly. This gap in dialogue has raised concerns about the overall effectiveness of his peace efforts, as tensions with lawmakers remain a major obstacle.

A former local government chairman from Emohua LGA, Dr. Chidi Lloyd, expressed doubts over Fubara’s return making any meaningful impact without proper reconciliation. He argued that without resolving the standoff with the state legislators, the situation could deteriorate further, potentially leading to renewed political chaos.

In his remarks, “He has been told many times to go and make peace. Assuming he comes back, has the problem with the House Assembly been resolved ? The lawmakers will throw him out, because there’s nothing like the Chief Judge setting up any panel. The Supreme Court has already itemized all his sins.”

He also compared the Rivers situation to the relative progress being made in other states like Enugu and Delta, stating that Rivers State’s current leadership crisis is a major setback to governance and development. The lack of direct engagement with key stakeholders, especially the legislature, suggests that the governor may still be far from achieving lasting political stability.
