Senate President Godswill Akpabio has assured that the National Assembly will resolve the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State. Akpabio emphasized the NASS's commitment to ensuring political stability and restoring peace in the state. He disclosed that efforts are underway to address the root causes of the crisis and foster reconciliation among aggrieved stakeholders ¹.
Background of the Crisis
The political crisis in Rivers State led to the suspension of Governor Sim Fubara, his deputy, and the state legislature three months ago. President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara for six months and declared a state of emergency. Since then, Fubara has met with Tinubu and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, his estranged political godfather, in a bid to push for reconciliation ¹.
Reconciliation Efforts
Wike has expressed readiness for reconciliation and urged Fubara to meet with other aggrieved stakeholders in the state for settlement. Akpabio's statement suggests that the NASS is working closely with all parties involved to ensure lasting peace and progress for the people of Rivers State.
