Siminalayi Fubara has accompanied Nyesom Wike to a burial ceremony in Port Harcourt.
Hours earlier, Fubara, suspended governor of Rivers; and
Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT); attended a late night
peace meeting hosted by President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in
Abuja.
On Saturday, Lere Olayinka, the minister’s spokesperson,
shared in an X post that Wike was in Port Harcourt for the burial of his uncle.
“Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, alongside the Governor
Siminalayi Fubara, and Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins
Amaewhule at the burial of Wike’s Uncle in Rumuepirikom, Rivers State today,”
Olayinka posted.
Some lawmakers from the Rivers state house of assembly, and
Martin Amaewhule, the suspended speaker of the assembly, also attended
Thursday’s truce meeting.
Wike and Fubara have locked horns over political differences
since 2023.
Their rift culminated in crisis that led to a polarisation
of the Rivers state legislature and the dismantling of the state’s assembly
complex.
On March 18, 2025, Tinubu declared emergency rule in Rivers
over the political crisis and the targeting of oil installations in the state.
The president also suspended Fubara and the Rivers
lawmakers; and installed a sole administrator to oversee the affairs of the
state for an initial period of six months.
