The rift led to a division among lawmakers in the House, with 27 of them defecting from the PDP to the ruling APC, a party in which Wike currently holds a ministerial position.

The conflict escalated to the point where the governor faced an impeachment notice, witnessed the demolition of the Assembly complex, and experienced a wave of resignations by pro-Wike commissioners in Fubara’s cabinet.
