Big Brother Naija star Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has expressed frustration and sadness over the renewed impeachment process against Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
She cited ongoing political instability as a major setback to development in the state.
Taking to X, the reality TV star lamented that Rivers State has remained trapped in continuous political battles, with little to show in terms of tangible progress.
Also, she contrasted the situation with Lagos State, which she said continues to move forward despite its own challenges.
“This is why I don’t criticise Lagos. It has its problems, but at least there is progress,” Tacha wrote.
Reflecting on her personal connection to Rivers State, Tacha said the recurring political crises have overshadowed any meaningful development.
This leaves residents and investors in uncertainty.
“I genuinely feel sad for Rivers State. I grew up there and I love the place deeply. But every time Rivers is in the news, it’s one political fight or the other. No progress stories, no excitement — just chaos. For the past two years, there hasn’t been one solid development headline. You begin to wonder how businesses and investments are even surviving,” she stated.
She further warned that the ongoing political tension could stall the state’s growth for years, urging residents to unite and demand better leadership.

“When I look at Rivers State, I ask: when will this state be allowed to breathe? When will the people breathe? With what’s happening now, it’s clear that the next few years may be wasted until the next elections. It’s a shame. I pray one day the people of Rivers get tired, come together, and truly fix the state,” Tacha added.
