On Tuesday, June 10, the All Progressives Congress (APC) warned suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara that only sincere reconciliation efforts can prevent his impeachment.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, June 10, the chairman of the Rivers state chapter of the APC Caretaker Committee, Tony Okocha, stated that the suspended governor has yet to initiate any meaningful steps to reconcile with the duly elected lawmakers in the state, The Punch reported.

On March 18, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State due to the ongoing political deadlock between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Following this declaration, the president suspended Governor Fubara and the State House of Assembly, appointing retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as sole administrator for a six-month tenure.

Jonathan, others want Tinubu to reinstate Fubara

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that former President Goodluck Jonathan and two other ex-presidents are mounting pressure on President Bola Tinubu to reinstate Fubara on or before June 12, Democracy Day.

The source added that the former president also initiated the two recent visits of the suspended governor to President Tinubu.
