The ongoing discord between Wike and Fubara has not only sparked disharmony within the state legislature but has also resulted in dramatic events, including the defection of 27 lawmakers to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the subsequent razing down and demolition of the state House of Assembly.
The intensifying crisis has led to heightened tensions and unrest in Rivers State, marking a significant period of political turbulence within the region.
Wike’s insistence on maintaining a stance that ensures the protection of the interests of his people amid the unfolding situation underscores the gravity of the prevailing discord between key political figures in the state.
