Reports circulating on Monday night indicate that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, may have met in Abuja following a late-night intervention by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
Multiple sources familiar with the situation suggested that the meeting was part of efforts to ease prolonged political tensions that have affected governance in Rivers State for months.
While no official statement has been issued by the Presidency or either camp, the reports claim that after the meeting at the Villa, both political figures were seen together, fuelling speculation that moves toward reconciliation may be underway.
Observers say the reported intervention by President Tinubu was aimed at restoring political stability in the oil-rich state amid lingering disputes between the governor and his predecessor.
Details of what transpired at the meeting remain unclear, and claims circulating on social media about apologies and private visits have not been independently verified.
Political analysts note that any sign of dialogue between the two camps could mark a significant shift in the crisis that has dominated Rivers politics in recent months, including tensions involving the State House of Assembly.
As of press time, neither Governor Fubara nor Minister Wike had publicly commented on the reports.
