President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, held a meeting with the Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, a former governor, Dr Peter Odili, and some other stakeholders from the State at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Reports say the president also met with the FCT Minister, Nyesome Wike as he was earlier seen at the State House.
The meetings came on the heels of the rift between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, a situation that has seen thrown the State into political crisis, as both men seem bent in exacting their political influence on the polity.
Twenty seven out of the 32 members of the State House of Assembly, loyal to Wike, had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the heat of the crisis, leading to a constitutional quagmire.
Some commissioners loyal to Wike had also resigned their appointments from Fubara’s cabinet.
Though the agenda or the outcome of the meetings had not been made public as at the time of this report, it is believed to be geared towards ending the political crisis in that State.
Also at the meeting was Vice President Kashim Shettima, and the Rivers State deputy governor.
