Fubara Restores Appointment of Wike’s Loyalists

Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has rescinded the sack and suspension of key loyalists of Minister Nyesom Wike.

All Local Government Chairmen caught in the mix have also been restored.
Fubara made the move in the wake of threats of impeachment allegedly engineered by Wike.
Wike single-handedly installed Fubara as his successor.

But allegedly excessive control by the immediate past Governor reportedly resulted in the conflict of interests that spiraled into the near impeachment of Fubara.

The ferocious response by Fubara as defined by the widespread sack of Wike’s loyalists encircling him including the endorsement of the emergence of a new Speaker in the Rivers State House of Assembly forced a retreat by the Minister.

The adoption of a reconciliatory posture by Wike allowed for the “settlement” that restored his loyalists to their statuses in Fubara’s government.
It is, however, not clear whether the Rivers State House of Assembly endorsed by Fubara will step down or not.
