Fubara, Wike reconciliation: Rivers Assembly recalls 3 lawmakers
The Rivers State House of Assembly has reversed its earlier decision to declare the seats of three pro-Fubara lawmakers vacant after they sent appeal letters apologizing for not resuming sittings. The lawmakers claimed they were unaware their prior suspension had been lifted following a presidential intervention, and the House accepted their appeals as part of a peace deal involving Governor Fubara and Nyesom Wike.
