Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State engaged in a private meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Thursday.
Governor Fubara arrived punctually at 5:35 p.m. and proceeded directly to the President’s office for the closed-door discussion, which concluded around 6:30 p.m. Post-meeting, the governor interacted with journalists but remained tight-lipped about the purpose and outcome, emphasizing the confidential nature of the visit with a simple statement: “It was a private visit.”
While the details of the discussion remain undisclosed, speculation suggests a potential connection to the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State.
The focal point of this crisis revolves around the struggle for control over the state’s political structure, escalating tensions between Governor Fubara and his former political mentor turned rival, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The meeting has sparked considerable interest, reflecting the current political climate in Rivers State and the implications it may have on the evolving dynamics of the state’s leadership.
