There are indications that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara may be moving towards reconciliation with his political rivals in the State Assembly, led by suspended Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
A closed-door meeting between Fubara and Amaewhule’s faction has sparked hopes of a potential resolution to the state’s long-running political crisis.
The power struggle between Fubara and Amaewhule’s faction has been ongoing, with the two sides engaging in a bitter face-off that has left the state’s political landscape fractured and volatile.
The conflict escalated to the point where the State Assembly Complex was burned and later demolished, and the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of Amaewhule’s faction.
However, the recent meeting between Fubara and Amaewhule’s faction may signal a turning point in the crisis.
While no formal truce has been announced, the meeting is being seen as a first step towards peace.
The development is significant, given the importance of Rivers State to Nigeria’s oil economy and stability in the Niger Delta.
