Rivers Governor Fubara Meets Tinubu At Presidential Villa, Refuses To Speak with Newsmen

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday evening met with Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers State at the State House, Abuja.

The governor arrived the seat of government at about 5:35 pm and proceeded straight to the President’s office.

Unlike the last time he came to the Villa in December, 2023 with his loyalists during the peace meeting with his estranged political godfather and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike with the President, the governor was alone this time around.

Though the agenda of his visit was not made public at the time of filing this report, it may not be unconnected with the political crisis between the governor and the FCT Minister over the control of the political structure in Rivers State.

Fubara when approached at about 6.40pm for interview by newsmen after the meeting with the President, however, refused to talk but simply strolled to where his official car was parked within the precints of Aso Rock, Abuja.
