President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reunited the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and members of the State House of Assembly.
The resolution of the crisis followed a meeting between President Tinubu and the aggrieved parties at the Presidential Villa, Abuja late last night.
Wike and Fubara have been embroiled in crisis for some time over the control of Rivers, with the situation spilling over to the State House of Assembly.
The impasse led to a series of litigations with the Supreme Court resolving the case in favour of the lawmakers.
But, the Supreme Court resolution sparked another round of crisis with the lawmakers and Wike threatening to impeach the Governor.
In March, President Tinubu declared a State of Emergency in Rivers State after the situation threatened to get out of hand, suspending the Governor, his deputy, Mrs Ngozi Odu, and all elected members of the House of Assembly.
The President also nominated Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as Administrator to take charge of the State.
Meanwhile, Aso Rock sources told Daily Trust that the meeting with the President followed an earlier one between the suspended Governor, the FCT Minister and the lawmakers.
The source said the meeting with the President is to intimate him that the crisis has been resolved.
“From the body language after the meeting with the President I can tell you that they (Wike, Fubara and the Lawmakers) have resolved their differences.
“You know before now, there have been this charge from the President that they should resolve their differences. I believe they have been able to resolve that. I think the visit might just be to thank the President for his efforts in resolving the crisis.” the source said.
