Rivers: Tinubu Reconciles Wike, Fubara, Others

After rounds of meeting at the behest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu between Wednesday June 25 and Thursday June 26 , the lingering political crises in Rivers State seem to have been resolved.

At the end of behind the scene meetings in Abuja, the main dramatis personae in the roiling political logjam Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and his estranged ally, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, who was suspended as Governor following the imposition of State of Emergency, and other key players including some elders of the State privy to the behind the scene negotiations, met with Tinubu late Thursday ostensibly to report the resolution of the issues.

With all parties to the crises including the suspended Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule now on the same page, all is now set for the restoration of democratic structures and return of all suspended political actors.
