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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
