Akpabio’s Visit to Wike Raises Eyebrows Amid Rivers State Emergency
Senate President Godswill Akpabio visited FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at his Abuja residence on Tuesday—the same day President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State. The meeting reportedly took place even before the emergency was officially announced, raising eyebrows amid the unfolding political crisis.
Wike, seen as a key player in the turmoil, has retained his ministerial position while Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other state officials were suspended. Critics have questioned the president’s decision, citing selective action and possible bias. Akpabio’s visit has only deepened concerns, especially with the Senate expected to ratify the emergency declaration. The purpose of the meeting remains undisclosed.
