According to a report by The Nation on Monday, the President held a closed-door meeting with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and other key political figures from the state in a bid to broker peace among the feuding camps.
Details of the meeting were not immediately made public, but sources familiar with the discussions described the engagement as part of ongoing efforts by the Presidency to calm tensions and restore political stability in the state.
The report further indicated that after the meeting at Aso Rock, Governor Fubara accompanied Wike to the minister’s residence in Guzape, Abuja, where further talks reportedly took place.
Sources cited by the newspaper claimed that the governor appealed for reconciliation, allegedly assuring the minister of renewed respect and cooperation going forward. The development has fuelled speculation that the long-running rift between the two political leaders may be heading toward resolution.
The Rivers political crisis, which has played out over months, has involved power struggles between loyalists of Wike and those aligned with Governor Fubara, affecting governance and the political atmosphere in the oil-rich state.
While neither the Presidency nor the key actors involved has issued an official statement on the outcome of the meeting, observers say the late-night intervention signals a possible thaw in relations and a step toward political reconciliation.
