Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has intensified efforts to sustain the peace recently restored in the state after over two years of political tension.
In a bid to consolidate the calm atmosphere, Governor Fubara met with his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, alongside a larger group of political leaders loyal to the FCT Minister.
The closed-door meeting, which held at the Port Harcourt residence of elder statesman Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, lasted till the early hours of Sunday.
Although details of the meeting were not disclosed, it is believed that both leaders are aligning efforts to uphold the peace accord reached under President Bola Tinubu during the six-month emergency rule in the state.
The renewed engagement comes shortly after Governor Fubara’s visit to President Tinubu, where he reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining peace and sought presidential counsel on avoiding a relapse into political crisis.
The FCT Minister has also restated his commitment to the peace process, noting that he has no intention of influencing the selection of new commissioners.
