Wike, Fubara, resolve differences after meeting with Tinubu

Our reporter/ President Bola Tinubu on Thursday night met with Nyesom Wike, suspended governor Simi Fubara and Rivers State lawmakers to resolve the lingering political crisis in the oil rich state.

Following the meeting, the gladiators resolved to put aside their feud.

Sources at the meeting said the parties were asked to work out the modalities for executing the deal, which would include reinstating Fubara to office as Rivers governor.

Fubara had earlier held a closed-door meeting with some members of the State House of Assembly—led by suspended Speaker Martin Amaewhule.

While details of the discussions remain tightly guarded, the meeting itself marks a significant moment in a power struggle that has left the state’s political landscape fractured and volatile.

Recall that Amaewhule and his faction had twice attempted to impeach the governor at the height of a bitter face-off believed to have been triggered by Fubara’s fallout with his predecessor Nyesom Wike.
