Wike Meets Fubara in Rivers as Reconciliation Efforts Continue

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday met with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, at the governor’s private residence in Port Harcourt.

The meeting was also attended by APC governorship candidate Kingsley Chinda, Senator Magnus Abe and other leaders of the Rainbow Coalition.

The purpose of the meeting was not immediately known, but it marked Wike’s first visit to Fubara since the political crisis that strained their relationship was resolved.

The meeting came amid ongoing efforts to strengthen the renewed peace in Rivers State and bring different political groups together.

A source said the meeting was part of the minister’s efforts to mend political ties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The source added that the reconciliation committee led by Senator Magnus Abe had already met with Fubara twice to discuss how the governor’s supporters could be accommodated in the new political arrangement.
