The Stakeholders meeting between President Bola Tinubu, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, and Former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers and Other Stakeholders has ended with three key resolutions, as follows:

1. The State House of Assembly’s impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has been requested by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be promptly withdrawn.

2. The directive was given by the president as part of the decisions made at the Monday State House meeting involving President Tinubu, Fubara, Peter Odili, the former governor of Rivers state, and a few other stakeholders.

3. The resolution stipulates that all staff workers and members of the Rivers State Assembly shall have their salaries and benefits promptly restored.

Many Nigerians have reacted to the resolutions;

@otuo_ogbajie wrote: “Sim Fubara is toast! They caged him, I am sure he was threatened with the coming Supreme Court matter. The resolution shows the level of intimidation he went through alone in that meeting, it wasn’t a meeting actually, it was a summons and he had no choice.

He is dealing with bloodsuckers and they will stop at nothing. Public opinion is bullshit to them (Tinubu, Wike, Gbajabiamila, Shettima, Nuhu Ribadu etc) Nigeria is ruled by gangsters.”

@Spotlight_Abby wrote: “This underscores the illegality that these people represent. I cannot even bring myself to call them a government or anything close. Sim Fubara will regret this if he complies. Telmabout he should allow the renegade state assembly members to meet & deliberate anywhere they like. Jokers.”

@docmayoke wrote: “Sim knows he can’t win this, he has no solid structure to back him. He faced Wike too early before building his base. Obaseki waited ~ 3 years before pulling the sword and he had Wike, Edo PDP and anti Oshimole APC insiders behind him. SIM had no strategy before going to war.”
