Is the long-standing “cold war” in Rivers State finally over? It looks like there’s a massive plot twist in the political thriller between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.After months of legal battles, a state of emergency, and even a temporary suspension, the two heavyweights met behind closed doors with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Sunday night.The Details: What Went Down?While the Presidency hasn’t released an official statement, sources have leaked some “juicy” details from the late-night intervention. According to reports, the atmosphere was a mix of tension and reconciliation.
The Gesture: In a move that has left many shocked, Governor Fubara allegedly followed Wike back to his residence in Guzape, Abuja, after the meeting with the President.The Plea: Insiders claim that Fubara “begged” the Minister, vowing to end the era of disrespect and stating that he is ready to work as a “son” to his “political father” once again.The Terms: Rumors suggest the “Peace Deal” includes Fubara recognizing the Wike-leaning lawmakers and potentially granting Wike significant influence over the upcoming local government elections.

This meeting comes after a wild year for Rivers State. Remember, just last year:President Tinubu declared a State of Emergency in Rivers. Governor Fubara was briefly suspended for six months. The Supreme Court stopped federal allocations to the state due to the legislative crisis. But as they say in Nigerian politics, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. With the 2027 elections slowly appearing on the horizon, it seems “power that be” are desperate to keep the oil recognisable.
Reactions From the Street: Social media is already on fire. While some fans are happy that “peace” is returning to the Treasure Base of the Nation, others are skeptical, calling it a “Graveyard Peace” that might not last the month.
“Fubara is playing the long game. Don’t be surprised if this is just a strategy to get his allocations back!” — One user wrote on X.
What do you think? Is Fubara genuinely sorry, or is this just “Politics 101” to survive the storm? 🍿Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments! 👇🏾
