In a bid to push for reconciliation, the suspended Governor
of Rivers State, Sim Fubara met with the Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
NigerianEye reliably gathered that the meeting held at
Wike’s residence in Abuja.
Fubara was led by Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State,
Ebonyi State governor, Francis Nwifuru and Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of
Ogun.
On getting to the residence, it was learnt that Fubara
“walked straight into Wike’s living room because that’s a familiar terrain” and
he begged the Minister.
An insider who was at the meeting and wished to be
anonymous, confirmed the meeting saying: “There was a meeting and I can confirm
that.”
On the meeting leading to the end of the state of emergency,
he added: “That I can’t confirm but all I know is that there was a meeting.”
This is coming after the meeting between Fubara and
President Bola Tinubu in London.
Fubara and Wike fell out shortly after the former became
governor in 2023.
In an attempt to prevent the crisis from snowballing into a
full security challenge, following threats by Niger Delta militants to attack
oil installations in the state, Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in
Rivers State.
The president also suspended Fubara, his deputy, and all
members of the state Assembly for six months while appointing a Sole
Administrator to preside over the affairs of the state.
Speaking on the emergency rule declared by the president,
Wike had said he wanted Fubara outrightly removed from office but Tinubu’s
intervention saved the suspended Governor.
