Rivers reconciliation: Wike allies, Fubara camp close ranks

Political allies of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, are reportedly reconciling their differences as efforts to unite the two factions intensify. This development comes as the Rainbow Coalition's reconciliation committee revealed that they will not discriminate against any of its members, despite past political disputes.

The committee, led by Magnus Abe, met with Fubara at the Governor's residence in Port Harcourt, marking the second time in two weeks. The committee aims to discuss the next steps for achieving peace and unity in Rivers State. After the meeting, Abe stated that the committee's goal is to work together for the benefit of the people of Rivers State, and that they believe the state's residents will be pleased with the progress made.

Dr Samuel Nwanosike, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in South-South Zone, expressed his excitement over the successful meeting and the return of peace to the region. Other members of the delegation included APC gubernatorial candidate Kingsley Chinda and Tamosisi Jaja.
