The 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike on Wednesday commenced sitting in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The lawmakers led by Martin Amaewhule convened at the House of Assembly quarters.
The single item to be considered by the lawmakers is the withdrawal of the impeachment notice against the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The oil-rich state has been embroiled in a crisis following a rift between Wike and his predecessor, Fubara.
As part of measures to resolve the rift, President Bola Tinubu met with the warring parties in consultation with the Former governor of the state, Peter Odili.
A truce was brokered at the Aso Villa in Abuja.
The rift between Wike and Fubara split lawmakers in the House with 27 of them decamping from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a party in whose central government Wike currently serves as minister.
The feud also saw the emergence of parallel sittings, an impeachment plot against the governor, the demolition of the Assembly complex, and a gale of resignations of pro-Wike commissioners in Fubara’s cabinet.
The President and some elder statesmen had intervened in the crisis earlier in October but it degenerated into a full-blown fight.
