…Meets Wike, Fubara and Members of Rivers House of Assembly

President Bola Tinubu hosted a crucial meeting at the Presidential Villa on Thursday night, bringing together key stakeholders from Rivers State in a bid to resolve the ongoing political crisis. The gathering included Governor Siminalayi Fubara, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly Martins Amaewhule, and members of the assembly.

According to Channels TV, the meeting aimed to reconcile the warring factions whose prolonged dispute had reached a boiling point, prompting the declaration of a state of emergency in the state back in March. The tense political standoff had raised concerns about stability and governance in Rivers State, with various groups vying for control and influence.

Details of the meeting remain scarce, but insiders suggest that President Tinubu may lift the emergency rule soon as his intervention has helped to diffuse tensions and broker a tentative peace among the parties involved. With the President’s backing, Governor Fubara and Speaker Amaewhule reportedly agreed to put aside their differences and work towards restoring normalcy in the state.

Wike’s presence at the meeting is key, given his influential role in Rivers State politics. His participation may have helped to facilitate dialogue and pave the way for a lasting resolution to the crisis.

While the outcome of the meeting appears promising, observers are cautiously optimistic about the sustainability of the peace. Many are watching closely to see whether the agreement will hold and translate into tangible benefits for the people of Rivers State.
