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.

Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, Speaker Martins Amaewhule, and other Rivers State Assembly members attended the closed-door session.

Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, spoke about sustaining peace in Rivers State, in an interview with Sunday Moses, President Tinubu’s official videographer.

Wike said “We have all agreed to work together. Everything is over. We are members of the same political family. As humans, we have disagreements. We also have time to settle the disagreements. There is no more acrimony. Everything is over. It’s a day we have to thank the Almighty.”

While Fubara noted that” It’s important that this day has come. What we need in Rivers is peace. We shall do everything in our power to sustain peace in Rivers State”

On March 18, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency, suspending Governor Fubara, his deputy, and all the State House of Assembly members.
