The Rivers State House of Assembly has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy of breaching the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Majority Leader of the House, Major Jack, said this while reading Fubara’s misconduct during the impeachment process on Thursday.
It was earlier reported that the assembly on Thursday commenced Fubara’s impeachment process.
According to the Majority Leader, President Tinubu brokered peace between the Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike twice but the governor reneged.
He said, “The governor and his Deputy have continued to act as tyrants and have no good plans for transparency of good governance in Rivers State.
“They have repeatedly breached and backtracked on peace agreement facilitated by the president of this country Bola Tinubu.
“The governor and his deputy failed to heed to the terms of agreement reached during the peace parley in December 2023 and another one in 2025”.
It would be recalled that there were political tensions in Rivers State after the relationship between Governor Fubara and Wike broke down.
The governor’s defection from the PDP to the APC appeared to have infuriated Wike further.
The FCT minister recently accused the Rivers governor of reneging on the terms of the peace deal brokered between them by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in June last year.
He later threatened to reveal details of the agreement reached between them if the governor continued to violate it.
Previously, a political crisis in Rivers, triggered by the feud between Governor Fubara and Mr Wike, resulted in the declaration of emergency rule in the state by President Tinubu in March 2025.
Fubara, who was suspended by Tinubu for six months alongside all elected officials in the state, only returned to office in September of that year after the president declared an end to the emergency rule.
This was after President Tinubu brokered a second peace deal in June between Fubara and Wike alongside their supporters.
