Breaking: PDP govs to meet Wike over Rivers crisis
In a surprising turn of events, the political landscape in Rivers State took a dramatic twist as 24 members of the State House of Assembly attempted to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The state was thrown into chaos on Monday when the governor’s loyalists stormed the assembly complex in protest against the alleged plot, leading to tense moments and heightened emotions across the region.
Amidst this turmoil, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, led by the charismatic Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, held a crucial meeting at the Oyo State Lodge in Abuja. Following their deliberations, the forum issued a commendation to President Bola Tinubu for his timely intervention in the political crisis, signaling a glimmer of hope for resolution.
In a bold move towards reconciliation and mediation, the PDP Governors’ Forum announced their decision to meet with the influential former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. This decision, aimed at restoring peace and stability in the state, was confirmed in a statement released by the forum’s Director-General, Cyril Maduabum, on Wednesday.
As tensions continue to simmer, the Chairman of the Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed, called upon fellow member Governors to converge at his residence, creating an air of anticipation. The meeting, scheduled to take place at No 1 Miriam Aloma Muktar Street, Asokoro, opposite Rivers State Governors Lodge at 10.45 am, promises a significant step towards resolving the crisis.
The visit to Nyesom Wike’s office in the Federal Capital Territory is set to occur at 11 am, marking a pivotal moment in Rivers State’s political saga. As the clock ticks, all eyes are on this high-stakes encounter, with the hope that it might pave the way for reconciliation, peace, and a return to normalcy in the embattled state.
