The G60 lawmakers, a group of opposition federal lawmakers, have come out to criticize the mass resignations, claiming that it is evidence that Nyesom Wike has hijacked the Rivers State government. They allege that Wike is controlling the government and its resources without giving Governor Fubara any room to govern.
In addition to the mass resignations, there are also allegations that former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, intimidated Commissioner Worlu into signing a peace pact with the ruling party. This claim was made by prominent rights activist, Annkio Briggs, who accused Tinubu of using his influence to influence Worlu’s decision.
The situation in Rivers State has become increasingly tense as more commissioners resign their positions, with political maneuvering and allegations of external influence. It remains to be seen how Governor Fubara will navigate this challenging political landscape in the coming days.
