Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has met with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and several of the Minister’s loyalists.
The meeting, which was held behind closed doors on Saturday at the Port Harcourt residence of elder statesman, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, reportedly lasted until the early hours of Sunday.
Although details of the discussions were not disclosed, it is believed that both leaders are making efforts to sustain the peace accord brokered by President Bola Tinubu during the political crisis that led to the six-month emergency administration in the state.
Notably, loyalists of the governor were absent from the meeting, a pattern that has been observed in previous reconciliatory gatherings aimed at restoring peace in the state’s political space.
Those present at the meeting include Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule; Senators Barinada Mpigi, Magnus Abe, Wilson Ake, George Sekibo, and Olaka Nwogu; members of the House of Representatives, Felix Nwaeke (Tai/Oyigbo Federal Constituency) and Kelechi Nwogu (Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency); Deputy Speaker, Dumle Maol; and House Leader, Major Jack.
Also in attendance were Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, HRM Sergeant Awuse, Chief OCJ Okocha (SAN), four former Attorneys-General Frank Owhor, Ken Chikere, Worgu Boms, and Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN); APC South-South Vice Chairman, Victor Giadom; PDP State Chairman, Chukwuemeka Aaron; and Mayor of Port Harcourt City, Alwell Ihunda, among others.
