RIVERS CRISIS ERUPTS INTO CHAOS AT TOWN HALL MEETING
A town hall meeting in Port Harcourt meant to foster reconciliation over the Rivers State political crisis devolved into open confrontation between supporters of Minister Nyesom Wike and those loyal to suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The event reached a boiling point when GDI leader Bright Amaewhule claimed his group was instrumental to Fubara’s election victory. His remarks triggered a walkout by Labour Party chair Hilda Dokubo and heated exchanges with speakers like Kenwell Ibanibo, who questioned the legitimacy of the failed impeachment attempt against Fubara.
Verbal altercations ensued as Wike supporters clashed with Fubara’s allies. The chaos prompted security intervention, although calm was eventually restored when Ibanibo voluntarily left the stage. The incident underscores the deepening divisions within Rivers State politics, with reconciliation appearing increasingly elusive
