President Bola Tinubu is alleged to have agreed to reinstate the suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, following a late-night meeting with aggrieved parties at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The crisis resolution reportedly came with four conditions for Fubara’s reinstatement, according to The Cable. These conditions aim to maintain harmony in Rivers State while addressing the concerns of all parties involved.
One of the conditions is that Fubara will complete his four-year tenure but must not seek re-election in 2027.
Also, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, will retain the privilege of nominating all local government chairpersons across Rivers State’s 23 local government areas.
As part of the deal, Fubara is expected to pay all outstanding allowances and entitlements owed to the 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike, who were previously suspended from the Rivers State House of Assembly.
In return, the lawmakers have agreed not to initiate any impeachment proceedings against Fubara once he resumes office. These concessions are seen as crucial steps in restoring stability and governance in Rivers State.
