Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is currently engaged in a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The governor arrived on Thursday evening and proceeded directly to the President’s office for discussions.
Governor Fubara has been involved in a protracted dispute with his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.
Despite signing an 8-point agreement during a previous meeting at Aso Rock, aimed at resolving the conflict, tensions persist.
Following the agreement signing, Governor Fubara made headlines by launching a live band, reminiscent of his predecessor’s style.
The release of the song “Dey your dey” went viral, portraying a clear message to Wike’s camp to respect boundaries.
In a recent crossover church service in Opobo town, Governor Fubara indirectly addressed the situation, stating, “As long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers State.”
Observers have interpreted this as a subtle dig at Wike, although no direct mention was made.
In response, Wike, without explicitly naming his successor, remarked at a gathering, “We will soon know who is in charge.”
The ongoing meetings and public statements suggest that the rift between the two political figures in Rivers State is far from resolution.
