Wike and Fubara Meet to Discuss Political Reconciliation
On Sunday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, hosted Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, and local government chairmen at his residence in Port Harcourt. Kingsley Chinda, the APC governorship candidate for the 2027 election, was also part of the meeting.
This visit marked Wike's first to Fubara's residence. The meeting followed a previous engagement led by Wike with the Rainbow Coalition, aimed at fostering reconciliation after a period of political strife.
The discussions sought to strengthen ties and explore ways to integrate Fubara's supporters into the political framework. Tensions had escalated between Fubara and the Amaewhule-led House of Assembly, culminating in two impeachment attempts against Fubara.
President Bola Tinubu intervened, declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State in March 2025, which included suspending the governor and assembly members, although they later returned to office.
