Rivers Crisis: Tinubu Meets Fubara, Odili, Othersย Inย Asoย Rock

Fubara and Wike while still chummy

President Bola Tinubu is holding a closed-door meeting with the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara; a former governor of the state, Peter Odili, and other stakeholders at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

The meeting, which began Monday evening, comes after weeks of political crisis heralded by a fall-out between Fubara and his predecessor who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public, Punch reports that the secret meeting may be connected to the December 11 episode where 27 out of 32 members of the State House of Assemblyโ€”known to be Wikeโ€™s loyalistsโ€”defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

Consequently, the legislature declared their seats vacant but a court stopped the move to conduct fresh elections on Monday.
