In today’s Nigerian newspapers’ review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with the statement made by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, that heavens won’t fall if his successor in Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, is impeached.

On the Lagos State House of Assembly crisis, Vanguard reports that President Bola Tinubu instructed the lawmakers at a meeting in the Aso Villa to let Speaker Mudashiru Obasa be.

Another headline has the leadership of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) saying lack of funds is the reason for the delay in the payment of N77,000 minimum wage to corps members.

Moving over to other Nigerian newspapers, The Guardian looks at the fresh hurdle for Fubara as Rivers Assembly, Wike and the All Progressives Congress (APC) push for impeachment.

The Punch leads with former President Olusegun Obasanjo saying the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway was a wasteful project.

Lastly, The Nation’s biggest headline says no truce yet between Fubara and Rivers lawmakers.
