The Rivers State House of Assembly is set to resume plenary today, ahead of its originally scheduled return on January 26.
The early resumption comes amid the ongoing political rivalry between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
Reports indicate that a majority of the assembly members remain loyal to Wike and have reportedly pledged to oppose Fubara’s administration in the 2027 elections.
The power struggle between the current governor and his former predecessor has heightened uncertainties and anxieties in the oil-rich Niger Delta state, with observers closely monitoring developments.
Further details are expected as plenary proceedings unfold.
