While other 35 state governments across the country boast of developmental strides and innovations, showcasing achievements in the past two and half years, Rivers State continue to struggle for governance stability amid political crisis. Blessing Ibunge writes.
The battle for supremacy in the soul of Rivers State has set the state back in development.
Governance is presently in a limping situation seeking for quick medication or may be led to uncertainty. The state which used to be a reference point in terms of good governance has become a war zone. The State was near recovery after President Bola Tinubu waved in to settle the dispute between the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Governor Siminalayi Fubara and 27 members of Rivers State House of Assembly. After weeks of suspended noise from the political gladiators, they are now fighting to finish, not minding the implication of their actions on the development of the State and the people.
