<p>President Bola Tinubu has intervened to address the escalating political conflict in Rivers State, reportedly summoning the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to a meeting abroad. This move comes amid renewed impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.</p>

<p>According to a top presidency source, the meeting is scheduled to take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, following the President&#8217;s visit to France. The source indicated that President Tinubu views the latest political maneuvers as a potential threat to stability.</p>
<p>“The President must see the danger in what Wike is doing. I am aware he has summoned him to a meeting in Dubai&#8230; Wike cannot impeach Fubara; the President will call him to order,” the source stated. The insider further warned that targeting the state&#8217;s first Ijaw governor could provoke unrest in the Niger Delta, with severe consequences for the national economy.</p>

<p>The crisis intensified on Thursday when 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, loyal to Minister Wike, initiated fresh impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara and his Deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu.</p>
<p>The seven-count notice, read by Majority Leader Major Jack, accuses the governor of gross misconduct, including the demolition of the Assembly complex, extra-budgetary spending, and failure to comply with a Supreme Court ruling on legislative financial autonomy. Deputy Governor Odu faces allegations of reckless spending and obstructing the Assembly.</p>
<p>Speaker Martins Amaewhule defended the move as being &#8220;in the interest of Rivers State,&#8221; criticizing the governor for not presenting the 2026 budget.</p>
<p>This development shatters a fragile peace brokered by President Tinubu after a previous impeachment crisis led to a six-month state of emergency in March 2025. The truce collapsed shortly after emergency rule ended, with Wike accusing Fubara of reneging on agreements and vowing to block his second-term bid, despite both now being members of the All-Progressives Congress (APC).</p>
<p>While a presidential aide declined to confirm the foreign meeting, stating only Wike&#8217;s camp could do so, senior APC officials revealed growing party discontent.</p>
<p>A national leader confirmed plans to brief the President upon his return, noting that “some of our leaders believe Wike should have respected the President and the party because Fubara is now one of our governors.”</p>
<p>A member of the APC National Working Committee criticized Wike’s actions as “a show of disregard for the President, the APC, and national interest,” suggesting they project the President as weak.</p>
<p>An ally of Minister Wike denied his involvement in the impeachment plot, affirming that “Wike is the number one supporter of Mr President.” The ally confirmed the minister&#8217;s return to Abuja on Sunday but did not verify the meeting with Tinubu.</p>
<p>Former Senator Andrew Uchendu described the recurring crisis as “an embarrassment to the people of Rivers State” and called for an inclusive dialogue, urging the President to restore order.</p>
