- On Wednesday, December 10, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara denied a rift while commissioning the extended and dualised 28.4-kilometre Ahoada–Omoku Road and said meetings were arranged by Nyesom Wike and Ferdinand Alabraba.
- Fubara, who defected on Tuesday, said his move to the APC was not for personal ambition but to secure peace and urged Rivers people to support President Bola Tinubu.
- The Rivers State House of Assembly accused Fubara of lying about meetings, said members met him twice since the emergency was lifted, and noted he spent in 2024 without an appropriation law.
- Responding to the governor, Amaewhule told journalists on Thursday in Port Harcourt that Nyesom Wike convened a meeting between lawmakers and the governor on President Bola Tinubu's directive, adding the governor's Wednesday statement prompted the press conference to set the record straight.
- Fubara tied the dispute to development by saying the Ahoada–Omoku Road was a campaign promise to ease movement and boost commerce, reaffirming his commitment to democracy as the Assembly stressed peace and progress in the state.
