Recall that the political crisis in Rivers state had ignited speculations that all was not well between the duo, which led to moves by 24 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Fubara.
Following the attempt, some loyalists of the governor stormed the assembly complex in protest against the plan to impeach Fubara.
Also, a section of the Rivers state assembly complex was gutted by fire and demolished amid the speculations that the fire incident was orchestrated to prevent the lawmakers from initiating impeachment proceedings against Fubara.
However, the political crisis in Rivers State was said to have been halted, and a truce was reached following the intervention of President Tinubu.
