Pesident Bola Tinubu is currently in a private meeting with Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The atmosphere is said mark a significant political engagement.
Governor Fubara is said to have arrived the Presidential Villa at about 5:35 p.m. and was immediately ushered into the president’s office.
This visit by Governor Fubara is notably different from his last appearance at the State House.
Previously, he arrived with a delegation of his supporters during a peace meeting involving his political rival, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and the President.
The governor however, chose to attend today’s meeting alone.
While the specific agenda of Governor Fubara’s visit remains undisclosed as of this report, speculation suggests that it might be related to the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.
Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, have been embroiled in a dispute over the control of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) structure in the state.
This time, a high-level meeting between President Tinubu and Governor Fubara is being closely monitored by political analysts and stakeholders, given the potential implications for the political dynamics within Rivers State and the PDP at large.
The outcome of this meeting could play a pivotal role in resolving or further intensifying the political tension in the state.
