The agreement was reportedly reached after President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders met with the two warring factions on Monday,December 18, 2023.
A document emerging from the meeting directed that all impeachment proceedings initiated against Fubara by the Rivers State House of Assembly should be dropped immediately.
It also directed that all matters instituted in the courts by Fubara, and his team, in respect of the political crisis in the state “shall be withdrawn IMMEDIATELY”.
Other directives according to the document read, “The leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly as led by the Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule shall be recognized alongside the 27 members who resigned from the PDP.
“The remunerations and benefits of ALL members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and their staff must be reinstated immediately and the Governor of Rivers State shall henceforth not interfere with the full funding of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
“The Rivers State House of Assembly shall choose where they want to sit and conduct their legislative business without interference and/or hindrance from the Executive arm of government.
“The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Fubara, shall re-present the state budget to a properly constituted Rivers State House of Assembly.
“The names of ALL commissioners in the Rivers State Executive Council who resigned their appointments because of the political crisis in the state should be resubmitted to the House of Assembly for approval.
“There should not be a caretaker committee for the local governments in Rivers State. The dissolution of the Local Government administration is null and void and shall not be recognized.”

If the Governor truely agreed to the above, he his good as gone.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteHow would he accept to work with someone who had attempted killing him politically by impeaching him. Do people intentionally work with their enemies?
They're looking for a puppet, not a governor.
DeleteI hope with this signing of agreement between both parties they'll allow peace to reign
ReplyDeleteThis is not a balanced resolution. It is tilted to favour the godfather.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one who understood that. Unless the defectors return to PDP or vacate their office, then there's no peace here but illegality. The supreme court has once ruled on issue like this.
DeleteThe governor should be careful I repeat again.
This is an order! Na wa o.
ReplyDeleteGod help Rivers state
Honestly GOD will help Rivers State, son and father should allow peace reign here
DeleteThis is illegality to me and no peace. The only way I will see it as peace is when the 27 members return to PDP. They can't defect to another party and you instructed the governor to withdraw the court case.
ReplyDeleteHow effectively do you want the governor to work with legislators that aren't his loyalist on a different party? Would Wike had accepted that if it was him?
To me. I see this as another plot and more of a poisoned chalice extended to the governor. He should thread carefully over whatever peace pact he's agreeing to.
The Governor had no choice else he would have been impeached by the 27 members of the State legislature.
DeleteI hope he didn't sign this ?
ReplyDeleteHe would be so careless to sign a rubbish as this. It's tantamount to a political suicide.
DeleteThat's how they sign away people's destiny! Sign what over what? Naija is a comedy show!
ReplyDeleteWhich Governor or President presents budget twice??
ReplyDeleteNigeria my country, there is no law in this coutry.
Very lawless country
DeleteLawless country
ReplyDeleteSee how they make everything to favor them
🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteIf the things written above are really the supposed terms of agreement then they are simply maintaining the status quo.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised or never expected anything tangible to come out of the meeting called by Jagaban, the patron saint of godfatherism in Nigeria. The emperor and fief of the fiefdom Lagos. Does anybody remember what happened to one of the best performing governors of Lagos, Akinwunmi Ambode?
Na them sabi if he likes let him dont shine his eyes well
ReplyDeleteFubara just played into Wikes hands. He is naive. Wike will still come for him and by then it will be too late.
ReplyDeleteThat's just the bitter truth.
DeleteWho are his advisers? I would have done better here.
After signing, underground work will still go on.
ReplyDeleteThe Governor is done for.
