Fubara Visits Wike to Beg for Peace after Tinubu Steps In to Stop Crisis in Rivers
In a fresh move toward reconciliation, Rivers State’s suspended Governor, Sim Fubara, recently visited the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, at his home in Abuja.
Fubara didn’t go alone. He was accompanied by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, and former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba. Upon arriving, Fubara reportedly went straight into Wike’s living room—an environment he’s quite familiar with—and pleaded with him.
A source close to the situation, who preferred not to be named, confirmed that the meeting did happen. However, when asked if it brought an end to the state of emergency declared in the state, the source said they couldn’t confirm that part.
This development follows Fubara’s recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu in London. Fubara and Wike had been at loggerheads since Fubara assumed office in 2023, and things took a more dangerous turn when threats from Niger Delta militants prompted Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State.
In response to the growing tension, the president suspended Fubara, his deputy, and members of the state assembly for six months, installing a Sole Administrator to take charge. Wike, while commenting on the situation, revealed he had pushed for Fubara’s removal, but it was Tinubu’s intervention that stopped things from escalating further.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
