In a significant move toward political stabilization in Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara previously suspended by factional forces within the state was seen today participating in a high-level reconciliation meeting with members of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly.

The closed-door session, which took place amid mounting political tension and governance gridlock in the state, is seen as a major step toward restoring dialogue between the executive and legislative arms of the Rivers government.
Photos from the meeting, released this afternoon, show Governor Fubara seated alongside key lawmakers, suggesting an easing of hostilities following months of intra-party conflict and constitutional disputes.

Background:
• Governor Fubara has been at the center of a political rift involving loyalists of former Governor and current FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, with the House of Assembly previously attempting to impeach him in late 2023.
• Tensions escalated further in early 2025, leading to legislative walkouts, factional divisions, and calls for federal intervention.
🕊️ A Path to Peace?
Though official details of the resolutions reached during the meeting remain undisclosed, sources close to the negotiation hinted at renewed commitments to constitutional governance, mutual respect, and internal party reconciliation under the PDP umbrella.
Observers say today’s appearance may signal the beginning of a long-awaited truce, but warn that sustainable peace will require genuine power-sharing, transparency, and conflict resolution mechanisms.
