Tensions in the state have been attributed to a power struggle between Governor Fubara and Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, resulting in a series of conflicts and disagreements.

The peace deal brokered by President Tinubu appears to have played a crucial role in de-escalating the standoff between the governor and his predecessor, ultimately leading to the withdrawal of the impeachment notice by the assembly members aligned with Wike.
