Fresh indications of reconciliation have emerged in Rivers State after President Bola Tinubu intervened in the lingering political crisis during a late-night meeting in Abuja.
A source within the Villa told Vanguard that the President held talks with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara; and other key political stakeholders from the state.
Although details of the meeting were not disclosed, the discussions are believed to be aimed at resolving the lingering political tensions in Rivers State.
Further reports indicated that Governor Fubara accompanied Wike to his residence in Guzape, Abuja, after the meeting.
Unconfirmed accounts also claimed that Fubara appealed to the minister and pledged to avoid any actions that could be perceived as disrespectful, signalling a possible reconciliation between the two influential political figures.
The meeting follows months of intense political tension in Rivers State between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who currently serves as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
The rift, which became public shortly after Fubara assumed office, led to a deep division within the Rivers State House of Assembly, with lawmakers splitting into rival factions loyal to the two leaders. The crisis also resulted in impeachment threats against the governor, protracted legal battles, and repeated shutdowns of legislative activities in the state.
The disagreement has been widely linked to a struggle for political control and influence in Rivers State, particularly over party structures and governance direction. Despite several earlier attempts at reconciliation by party leaders and stakeholders, tensions persisted, raising concerns about political stability and governance in the oil-rich state.
President Bola Tinubu’s intervention is seen as a strategic effort to restore peace, stabilize governance, and prevent further escalation of the crisis ahead of future political engagements within the state and the ruling party.
