The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, met with Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other political actors from Rivers State in Port Harcourt.
The meeting comes two weeks after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu lifted the state of emergency imposed in the oil-rich state, following months of political tension between the FCT Minister and the Governor over perceived control of the state’s political structure.
The development is widely seen as a sign of restored peace and unity, marking what many observers describe as a major political truce in the state.
In a brief statement sent to newsmen on Sunday by Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, it was said, ‘Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, Chairman of the Rivers State Elders Council, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, and other leaders in a meeting in Port Harcourt yesterday.
‘The Political Family is fully united.’
