President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, held separate closed-door meetings with Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and Ebonyi State governor, Francis Nwifuru, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The parley with Governor Fubara came amid heightened political tension in Rivers State and renewed speculation over his future in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Fubara arrived the State House at about 5:01p.m. and was received by the Presidential Protocol Liaison Officer before heading into the President’s office.
He left at about 5:45 p.m. without speaking to journalists, and details of the discussion were not disclosed at press time.
Earlier, Governor Nwifuru had also met the President in a separate session. The purpose of his visit was equally undisclosed.
Tinubu’s meeting with Fubara followed last Friday’s defection of 17 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly—from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
