TENSION IN RIVERS AS ASSEMBLY CONTINUES TO PRESSURIZE GOVERNOR
Tensions continue to escalate in Rivers State as the House of Assembly intensifies pressure on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, warning that he has a single opportunity to resolve the ongoing political crisis.
The lawmakers have issued fresh threats, signaling that the standoff between the executive and legislative arms of the state government is far from over.
According to reports, the conflict, which has been brewing for months, stems from disagreements over governance, legislative decisions and executive policies.
Members of the Assembly have repeatedly accused the governor of disregarding the legislature, failing to foster cooperation and making unilateral decisions that undermine democratic processes.
As a result, they have now issued a stern ultimatum, making it clear that Fubara must take decisive steps to address their concerns or face serious consequences.
According to sources within the Assembly, lawmakers are growing increasingly frustrated with what they describe as the governor’s lack of engagement in resolving key political disputes.
They insist that unless he initiates meaningful dialogue and demonstrates a commitment to working with the legislative body, the crisis could escalate further, potentially leading to drastic actions against his administration.
While specific details of the latest threats were not disclosed, political analysts believe the Assembly may be considering measures such as impeachment or legal actions to challenge Fubara’s authority.
Some lawmakers have openly expressed their dissatisfaction, accusing the governor of failing to uphold agreements and refusing to acknowledge the legislature’s role in governance.
In response to the mounting tension, political observers have urged both parties to prioritize dialogue and find a peaceful resolution that serves the interests of Rivers State residents.
.Many argue that prolonged political instability could hinder development efforts, disrupt governance and create uncertainty among investors and stakeholders.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on Governor Fubara’s next move. With the Assembly’s ultimatum looming, his response in the coming days could determine the fate of his administration and shape the future political landscape of Rivers State.
