Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has once again visited the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
WAFFI TV reliably learned that Fubara met Wike at his Abuja residence on Monday.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed this to WAFFI TV while debunking a viral photograph of the duo.
The source said: “The photograph is an old image, but I can inform you that he (Fubara) came to see the Minister this week Monday.”
The meeting is believed to be part of Fubara’s effort to restore peace between him, Wike, and other relevant stakeholders in Rivers State.
Fubara ran into murky waters shortly after he was sworn in as Rivers State governor in 2023.
He fell out with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, over control of Rivers State's political structure and resources.
The dispute escalated to the State House of Assembly, resulting in a split within the legislative body.
On March 18, 2025, President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara for six months and declared a state of emergency in Rivers State for the same duration.
To prevent the political crisis from escalating into a full-blown security threat—especially amid threats by Niger Delta militants to sabotage oil facilities—Tinubu appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas as Sole Administrator.
During his suspension, Fubara held meetings with President Tinubu in both London and Lagos, while also reaching out to Wike in efforts to reconcile.
