Tinubu Mediates Meeting Between Wike and Fubara Amid River State Political Crisis
The article discusses a meeting between River State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, mediated by Bola Tinubu. The meeting, confirmed by sources, hints at a possible resolution to the political crisis in River State.
The tensions between Wike and Fubara escalated in October 2023, leading to impeachment proceedings and power struggles. Tinubu previously brokered a peace deal in December 2023, which later collapsed, resulting in renewed hostilities.
The crisis peaked in March 2025 when Tinubu declared a state of emergency in River State, suspending Fubara's executive powers. Despite ongoing tensions, the River State House of Assembly recently issued another impeachment notice against Fubara.
