Tinubu Meets Fubara, Wike, and Ogoniland Leaders Amid Rivers State Crisis

President Bola Tinubu is currently holding an important meeting at the State House in Abuja with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike. According to Daily Post, the meeting also includes prominent leaders from Ogoniland, representing four local government areas of the state.

While the details of the discussions remain unclear, it is widely speculated that the meeting is focused on addressing the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, which has been escalating.

Fubara and Wike have been engaged in a power struggle, intensifying tensions in the state. Among the Ogoniland leaders present are Senators Lee Maeba, Magnus Abe, Olaka Nwogu, Victor Giadom, Kenneth Kobani, Monsignor Pius Kii, Leedom Mitee, Bennett Birabi, Barry Mpigi, and Prof. B. Fakae.

Other high-ranking government officials attending include National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Minister of Information, Idris Mohammed; Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh; Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas; and NNPC Group CEO, Mele Kyari.

The meeting takes place ahead of a legal confrontation, with several cases scheduled to be heard at the Supreme Court on February 10. Political observers suggest that Tinubu’s involvement aims to resolve the crisis before it worsens.

Although the outcome of the meeting remains uncertain, it is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future political landscape of Rivers State.
