The impeachment move against Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, has suffered another setback as two more members of the State House of Assembly have withdrawn their support for the process.

They called for a peaceful resolution of the political crisis in the state.

Barile Nwakoh, who represents Khana Constituency I, and Emilia Amadi of Obio/Akpor Constituency II, made their positions known barely 48 hours after two other lawmakers announced a similar decision.

Although the legislators maintained that the Governor and his deputy may have breached constitutional provisions, they said their change of stance followed interventions by respected leaders and stakeholders who appealed for restraint in the interest of peace and stability in the State.

With the latest development, four of the 26 lawmakers who initially endorsed the notice of alleged gross misconduct have now distanced themselves from the impeachment move, signalling growing calls within the Assembly for dialogue rather than confrontation.

The Rivers State House of Assembly is expected to reconvene plenary on January 15, 2026, as attention shifts to how the leadership of the House will navigate the deepening divisions.

Earlier, the Minority Leader of the House, Sylvanus Nwankwo, representing Omuma Constituency, and Peter Abbey of Degema Constituency had announced their withdrawal from the impeachment process during a press briefing in Port Harcourt.

The pressure from the people is surpassing the pressure from Wike. And they equally know that Wike is only concerned about himself and his family and NO OTHER PERSON. The man Wike will use and dump most of them. The wise will unite with Fubara who has formed a new alliance with the ruling political party for safety

"Wike and Fayose have brought shame to PDP" -Ali Modu Sheriff

According to him, he will restructure the PDP in such a way that Wike and Fayose cannot contain because they have brought “shame” to the party.
Read what he said below

“I will engineer a restructuring of the PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.

We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country. We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose have brought our party, making Nigerians to mistake PDP as a training ground for thugs.

That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously”.

Wike is finished, he will find no one behind him before January 2027.

Unverified source said, Tinubu ordered lawmakers to stop impeachment and ask them to meet APC chairman for further directives.

Learn wen to stop silly fight!

Fubara does not need the full backing of the whole house, he only needs a certain percentage. This should not be too difficult for a serving governor.

Please mention the names of the politicians Wike has used and dumped ?

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
