The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and local government chairmen in the state on Sunday met with Governor Siminalayi Fubara at his private residence in Port Harcourt.
The meeting comes about a fortnight after Wike led members of the Rainbow Coalition in the state, including the All Progressives Congress candidate for the 2027 general elections, Kingsley Chinda, to meet with the governor.
Sunday’s visit marked the first time the FCT minister had visited Fubara at his residence in Port Harcourt.
The meeting is seen as a continuation of talks between the two camps aimed at consolidating reconciliation efforts following the return of relative peace to the state.
Wike led a delegation comprising mainly members of the state legislature, including the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, and the chairmen of the state’s 23 local government areas, to meet Fubara and his supporters.
The APC standard-bearer for the 2027 election in the state, Kingsley Chinda, was also part of the delegation.
