Rivers: Gov Fubara meets Tinubu after emergency rule
Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is currently at the Presidential Villa in Abuja for a visit to President Bola Tinubu.
The reason for his visit was not immediately ascertained, but it may not be unconnected to the president’s role in the restoration of peace in the state.
According to Channels TV, the governor arrived at the villa alone at about 6:20 pm on Monday and made his way towards the office of the President.
Fubara, his deputy, and members of the state House of Assembly, who were suspended in March over the protracted political crisis, were reinstated by the president last week.
The governor has, in a statewide broadcast, expressed appreciation to the President for intervening in the crisis in Rivers State.
He also lauded the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for giving peace a chance.
