Governor Fubara stated this  after swearing in Dagogo Iboroma as the Attorney General of the state shortly after the Senior Advocate of Nigeria ,SAN, was screened and confirmed by the Victor Oko-Jumbo-led House of Assembly.
He emphatically stated that the state is in a critical situation where it has become obvious that the political crisis cannot be resolved.
The governor accused his opponents of deliberately sabotaging his administration while he was hoping that the issue in the state would be resolved amicably.  He vowed to make tough decisions moving forward no matter how hurtful they would seem.
The move is the latest twist in the political crisis rocking the oil-rich state. The development has seen a deepening of the feud between Fubara and the state House of Assembly.
Last week, lawmakers loyal to the governor elected a new speaker. Fubara had also issued an executive order relocating the sitting venue of the Rivers State House of Assembly to the Government House, citing safety concerns.
The feud is due to the fallout between Fubara and his predecessor and current Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike. President Bola Tinubu had waded into the crisis last year but the imbroglio appears to be far from over.
