Governor Fubara Celebrates Wike at 56 Amidst Political Turmoil
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, took to his social media handle on Wednesday to celebrate his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, on his 56th birthday. Fubara shared a flier featuring Wike dressed in traditional attire.

The flier contained a message from Fubara, which read, “I congratulate my Oga, His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, GSSRS, Life Bencher, immediate Past Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, on his 56th birthday today, December 13, 2023.

He further stated, “Your Excellency, my dear wife and I, and the good people of Rivers State, join your family and friends to felicitate you on this day. We sincerely pray that your new age brings you joy and good health.”

This celebration comes amidst a brewing feud between Fubara and Wike, which has led to political unrest in Rivers State. The situation escalated following an impeachment attempt against Fubara, which sparked protests among his loyalists.

The crisis was further fuelled by the defection of 27 lawmakers from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and a court order preventing the removal of the Speaker. In response, Edison Ehie, the factional Speaker of the Assembly, declared the seats of the defectors vacant.

The political crisis took a turn for the worse on Wednesday when bulldozers arrived at the premises of the state House of Assembly and began demolishing the complex.
