Rivers State's political telenovela took another twist Monday as two assembly members names buzzing from PH wards to Abuja briefings piled onto the growing choir begging colleagues to sheath impeachment daggers against Governor Sim Fubara. These fresh defectors join a handful who've already waved white flags, their pleas echoing through the oil-rich creeks where Wike-Fubara bad blood refuses to clot despite Tinubu's peace broker badge from last year.
The lawmakers, faces from Rivers East and West, penned open letters slamming the probe as "pointless vendetta" that starves constituents of budget goodies while assembly chambers collect dust. Picture this: plenary halls half-empty, road contracts frozen, and market women in Diobu muttering about power games over rising garri prices. Their call? Drop the seven-count indictment demolished complex, rogue spending, fund freezes before 2026 spirals into full chaos.
Fubara's camp smirks from Government House, hailing the shift as voter thunder against Wike-loyalist holdouts led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule. Yet assembly hawks dig heels, swearing constitutional due process trumps reconciliation vibes, with APC bigwigs oddly distancing to dodge Tinubu's glare. Whispers hint more flips if Wike's godfather flex weakens amid federal heat.
