Barring any last-minute change, governors who are members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will today hold an emergency meeting over the impeachment threat against Governor Similanayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Daily Trust gathered that the meeting is expected to broker peace between Governor Fubara and the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, his predecessor.
A source close to one of the governors told Daily Trust that the PDP governors are not happy with the unfolding events in Rivers State and are poised to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
He said, “The governors are really surprised at what is happening; they are not happy and want to discuss within themselves and fi nd a solution to the problem.
“You know Rivers is a PDP state even though the FCT minister is working with President Tinubu; he is still a member of the PDP.
I believe that is why they want to meet immediately.”
The cold war between Fubara and Wike took a new dimension on Sunday when yet-to-be identified arsonists invaded the state house of assembly located at the three arms zone of Moscow Road in Port Harcourt, and set ablaze the assembly’s hallowed chamber.
Recall that Wike was instrumental to the emergence of Fubara as governor of the oil-rich state on March 18, 2023.
The cause of their friction has not been made public, but sources close to the governor said the over-bearing influence of the former governor on Fubara had come to a nauseating level.
