President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday night hosted a crucial meeting at the Presidential Villa with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara; Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule; and other members of the Assembly.
The meeting, also confirmed by Channels Television, signals a potential end to the long-standing political rift between Wike and Fubara.
Earlier on Thursday, Fubara held a separate meeting with Speaker Amaewhule in Abuja.
While full details of the Thursday night meeting remain unclear at the time of filing this report, the latest development is seen as a breakthrough in the Rivers State political crisis.
This reconciliation effort comes months after President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, suspending Governor Fubara and all other elected officials.
