A new scene has been added to the Rivers State power game drama when officials loyal to pro-Wike lawmakers ensured that Governor Siminalayi Fubara was locked out of the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex earlier today.

It is confirmed that when Governor Siminalayi Fubara arrived at the legislative quarters this morning, he found the entrance gate firmly locked against him notwithstanding efforts made by him and his aides to gain access.

A report in Channels Television said “our correspondents observed that the security personnel at the complex locked the gates when the governor’s convoy arrived at the complex.”

According to the defence of the main actors of today’s scene, “the action of the security personnel was hinged on the position that there was no official communication between the governor and the Assembly.”

But Governor Fubara said openly that he actually “communicated his visit to the House to Speaker Martins Amaewhule through a letter and tried to call him on the phone since yesterday.”

NewsOrient recalls that Governor Fubara had, amongst others, also said he would “fully implement the February 28, 2025 judgment” of the apex court on the face-off and that he has “directed the Rivers State Independent Electoral Electoral Commission (RSIEC) to come up with modalities for the fresh election.”

This seemingly unending intrigues trailing the power game between the Minister of Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nyesom Wike, who was former Governor of Rivers State and his erstwhile political son, Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers State, have continued to heighten socio-political tension in the oil-rich State.
