Rivers Power Battle: “The President Is Playing Both Sides,” Ijaw Youth Leader Alleges as Impeachment Drama Unfolds

ACCORDING TO OUR REPORTER, The political crisis rocking Rivers State has taken a new twist, with Maobuye Nangi-Obu, Secretary-General of the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, accusing the President of deceiving both Governor Siminalayi Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

Amid an impeachment attempt halted by a court injunction, Nangi-Obu claims the presidency is playing a double game quietly urging the governor to stay passive while allowing Wike to push his agenda. A detailed analysis of Nigeria’s ongoing state-level political conflicts and their impact on national peace has been published on NewsVista.

This escalating power tussle, involving former allies now at odds, risks reigniting the violent unrest that once plagued Rivers in the early 2000s. Supporters see the impeachment as a politically motivated attack, while critics demand accountability. As the legal battle rages on, Nigerians anxiously watch, knowing the outcome could determine the future stability of the state.
