Fubara jets alone to Aso Rock, begs Tinubu for Rivers calm

Governor Siminalayi Fubara made an unannounced visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Monday evening. The Rivers State chief executive arrived without an entourage at approximately 6:20 pm and proceeded directly to the presidential office. Officials did not immediately disclose the meeting's purpose, though observers linked the discussion to recent peace efforts within the state. President Tinubu recently reinstated Fubara, his deputy, and several suspended assembly members following political tensions that escalated in March. The governor publicly thanked the president for mediating the crisis and commended Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike for supporting reconciliation efforts.
