In Ndukwe’s words: “Fubara did not go alone to meet with Wike, he went with the governor of Ebonyi State was there, the governor of Ogun State Dapo Abiodun was there, former Governor Olusegun Osoba was there. They took him to Wike’s house and when he got in there he walked straight to Wike’s living room because that is a house that he is used to, he is familiar with. It is a familiar terrain. That is the truth of the matter.”
The meeting marks a significant step toward resolving the political crisis in Rivers State, which intensified following the state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu on March 18, 2025. Ndukwe’s account underscores the involvement of influential mediators in fostering dialogue, suggesting a broader effort to stabilize the state’s political landscape. Fubara’s willingness to engage directly with Wike, supported by regional leaders, indicates a strategic move to de-escalate tensions and restore unity, potentially reshaping the dynamics of their feud and its impact on Rivers State’s governance.
