In a bid to quell the protracted political crisis rocking Rivers State, President Bola Tinubu on Thursday night convened a high-level reconciliation meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Those in attendance included Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers State; some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly; and Martin Amaewhule, the suspended speaker of the Assembly.
According to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, the closed-door meeting was part of Tinubu’s effort to restore calm and stability in the oil-rich state.
“President Bola Tinubu hosted a reconciliation meeting on Thursday night at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, bringing together all the figures in the Rivers State political crisis,” Onanuga wrote on his official X handle.
