In a dramatic escalation of the Rivers crisis, the Supreme Egbesu Assembly (SEA) has vowed to “shock” President Tinubu if Governor Siminalayi Fubara is impeached—a threat that underscores the deep fissures within the region’s political landscape.
SEA Chairman Werinipre Digifa condemned inflammatory remarks made by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of recklessness and of wielding undue influence over the state’s destiny.
Digifa’s statement was laced with criticism of what he described as a dangerous political power play that endangers the stability of the Niger Delta.
He argued that any attempt to remove Fubara would not only disrupt governance but also embarrass Tinubu, who, according to Digifa, has allowed such volatile rhetoric to fester unchecked.
Meanwhile, voices within the Rivers State House of Assembly and prominent opposition figures have echoed similar concerns, calling for an end to personal vendettas and political intimidation.
As allegations swirl—ranging from issues of age falsification by the Chief Judge to discontent with imposed ultimatums—the SEA’s bold threat is seen as a wake-up call amid an increasingly polarized and fragile political environment in Rivers State.
