Tinubu welcomes Fubara to Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday met with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja in their first ever meeting after a peace meeting brokered by the President last year.
Fubara had been up in arms against his godfather and predecessor Nyesom Wike, the current minister of the FCT.
Fubara arrived at the Presidential Villa shortly before 6pm and was ushered into the President’s meeting room.
Though Fubara was tight-lipped after the meeting, but Aso Rock insiders said President Tinubu asked to know about the state of affairs in Rivers even as he asked questions on the extent of the implementation of the 8-point resolutions reached during the last peace-seeking meeting in Aso Rock.
During the meeting, Tinubu was said to have expressed satisfaction at the steps taken by Fubara after the governor had briefed him on what he had done since the last meeting.
The Fubara-Wike feud has set the Rivers polity on edge, creating a divide within the fold of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The worst hit in the feud had been the State Assembly which is yet to recover from the division among members leading to the defection of 27 members from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
