According to Amaewhule, Governor Fubara's comment could plunge the state into another political instability. Speaking in a viral video, the speaker claimed that the governor lied when he said he had not been able to meet with the Rivers State House of Assembly members.

The Punch reported that the allegation came the day after Governor Fubara dismissed the claim that there was a fallout between him and the state and federal lawmakers in the state, adding that the report of the alleged rift was "pure lies" during a public address on Wednesday, December 10.
