FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has confirmed a meeting on Monday, February 9, involving himself, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and President Bola Tinubu.
Wike stated that the meeting was initiated by the President to address the ongoing dispute between the Governor and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. He described the intervention as an effort to restore stability and expressed hope that it would mark the final presidential involvement in the matter.
