  • The lawmakers dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
  • The crisis in the state has also seen some Comissioners in the state resign from office

Former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike is meeting behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with President Bola Tinubu, along with his successor Siminalayi Fubara.

Among those present at the meeting are the State deputy governor and Peter Odili, a former state governor.

The appearance of Governor Fubara and other elected officials from Rivers state in the state and national assemblies during the most recent general elections was made possible in large part by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Reportedly, Wike and his group arrived in the President’s office, where the meeting is being held, at approximately 7:00 p.m.

The meeting may not be unconnected to the recent defection of 27 members of the State House of Assembly, who are loyalists of the FCT Minister.

The lawmakers dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The crisis in the state has also seen some Comissioners in the state resign from office.
