Wike, Fubara, Rivers Elders Meet in Port Harcourt

Tensions in Rivers State’s political landscape eased slightly on Saturday as Governor Siminalayi Fubara, former Governor Nyesom Wike, and prominent Rivers elders met in Port Harcourt to discuss peace and reconciliation. The closed-door meeting, held at the Government House, was aimed at resolving the lingering feud between Fubara and Wike that has divided the state’s political structure.

Sources say the dialogue, convened by traditional and political leaders under the aegis of the Rivers Elders Forum, focused on restoring stability, ensuring good governance, and preventing further political crises. Both leaders reportedly agreed to prioritize the interests of the state and maintain open communication going forward.

The elders expressed optimism that the meeting would mark a turning point in the protracted rift that has strained relations within the state’s ruling party. A follow-up meeting is expected in the coming days to consolidate on Saturday’s progress.
