🔥 Political Tension in Rivers: Tinubu Hosts Crucial Late-Night Meeting With Wike, Fubara, and Lawmakers📍 Source: www.frontnaija.com
In a high-stakes move aimed at resolving the lingering political crisis in Rivers State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu held a late-night closed-door meeting yesterday with key political figures from the oil-rich South-South state.Present at the meeting were Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara;
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Rivers governor, Chief Nyesom Wike; Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule; and several lawmakers loyal to both factions.
The meeting, held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, comes amid renewed tensions between Governor Fubara and his political benefactor Wike, which have polarized the Rivers political landscape and raised concerns about governance stability in the state.
Although details of the discussions remain undisclosed as at press time, sources close to the presidency hinted that President Tinubu is seeking a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis, emphasizing unity and development over internal wrangling.
Political observers believe the meeting is a continuation of the president’s earlier interventions, as the rift between Fubara and Wike has led to parallel legislative actions, allegations of impeachment plots, and heightened insecurity in parts of the state.Insiders at the villa described the talks as “tense but necessary,” with President Tinubu reportedly urging all parties to put the interest of the people of Rivers State above personal ambitions.
This intervention marks another effort by the presidency to prevent a full-blown political breakdown in one of Nigeria’s most economically vital states.
