Abuja: Tinubu in Critical Meeting With Fubara, Others Amid Rivers State Political Tensions

ByYusuf Olajide

President Bola Tinubu is meeting at the Presidential Villa with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, former governor Sir Peter Odili, and other key figures.

This comes after a recent clash between Governor Fubara and former governor Nyesom Wike, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The meeting’s agenda is not public, but it likely relates to the recent shift in the state’s politics. Twenty-seven out of 32 State House of Assembly members who support Minister Wike switched from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Vice President Kashim Shettima and the Rivers State deputy governor are also present. The closed-door session holds significance as it could shape the state’s political landscape.

Nigerians are watching closely for updates on how this meeting might impact not only Rivers State but also national politics. As discussions unfold, attention is focused on Abuja, anticipating insights into resolving the political tensions in this vital state.
