Tinubu holds closed-door meeting with Fubara in Aso Rock

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Monday held a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

Our correspondent spotted the governor at about 5:01 p.m. walking toward the President’s office, dressed in a deep-blue long-sleeve shirt, black trousers and a black flat cap.

Earlier, Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, was seen arriving for a separate meeting.

The purpose of both meetings has not been made public.

Fubara’s visit comes at a time when speculations are growing that he may dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress following renewed political tension in Rivers State

The only three lawmakers considered loyal to Fubara have not resumed sitting since the six-month emergency rule in the state was lifted on September 18, deepening uncertainty around the governor’s political future.

Months earlier, Fubara had been reinstated as governor following the end of the emergency rule imposed by President Tinubu on March 18.

Nwifuru, an APC governor and former Speaker of the Ebonyi House of Assembly, has similarly engaged the Presidency in recent months on infrastructure and security coordination in the South-East.
