President Bola Tinubu has reportedly agreed to reinstate the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, on the condition that he will not seek reelection in 2027.
Papers News learnt that the latest development was reached during a closed-door meeting on Thursday night at the Presidential Villa, with Tinubu alongside the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Fubara, the suspended Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and other political leaders from Rivers State.
Sources described Thursday night’s meeting as a breakthrough in Tinubu’s push to reconcile Wike and the governor, but at the cost of Fubara giving up significant powers in exchange for political survival.
