Tensions are escalating in Rivers State as the Militant kmowns as Niger Delta Rescue Movement (NDRM) raises the alarm over what it describes as a deliberate plot to destabilize the state’s governance under Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The group has pointed fingers at a faction of self-proclaimed lawmakers who issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the governor to present the 2025 state budget, a demand the NDRM calls unfounded and provocative.
In a strongly worded statement througha clip circulating on X, the movement warned that this move is a calculated attempt to incite chaos, potentially paving the way for a state of emergency or even an impeachment process against Fubara, threatening the stability of the oil-rich region.
The NDRM has called on Bola Tinubu to intervene swiftly, accusing the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and his allies of orchestrating the crisis.
The group alleges that Wike’s influence is fueling the unrest, a claim that echoes sentiments found in recent posts on X, where users have noted the political friction between Wike and Fubara.
The movement emphasized that Rivers State, a key contributor to Nigeria’s oil wealth, deserves federal allocations to pay workers and fund development projects.

They threatened decisive action, including disrupting heating oil production, if these funds are not released promptly—a bold stance that underscores the stakes in this unfolding drama.
“We contribute to the federation account and deserve our share,” the statement declared, reflecting the frustration of a region long reliant on its natural resources yet plagued by political strife.
The NDRM’s call for unity and respect for their leaders resonates with a broader desire for progress and stability, yet the specter of conflict looms large.
With the federal government yet to respond, all eyes are on Tinubu to defuse the situation before it spirals out of control.
