A former civil society leader has raised concerns about political instability in Rivers State, particularly focusing on the recent party-switching saga within the State House of Assembly. Ene Obi, former convener of the Nigerian Situation Room, shared these observations during an interview on Arise TV from 5:16.

Discussing the recent political maneuvering in the state legislature, she noted: “You have a massive population of the Rivers Assembly that decided to move to another party, and then they move back.” This constant shifting of allegiances, she suggested, reflects deeper governance issues.

Obi attributed the lawmakers’ actions to perceived weakness in the state’s executive leadership. “They were dancing because they believed that the governor (Fubara) does not have the strength to control them,” she stated.

Looking toward the future implications of these political developments, Obi posed a pointed question: “I think we need to have a turn around. What kind of grandfathers or ancestors do we want to become in the future?”

These comments come amid ongoing political turbulence in Rivers State, where the relationship between the executive and legislative branches has been marked by dramatic shifts in party allegiances and questions about governance effectiveness. Obi’s remarks suggest concerns about both the immediate impact on state governance and the long-term legacy of current political decisions.
