President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with the Governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Fubara was accompanied by an ex-governor of Rivers State, Sir Peter Odili, and other stakeholders from the state.
Tinubu is apparently looking to intervene in the face-off between the governor and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Wike was earlier sighted at the State House.
Sources within the presidency confirmed that the meeting may not be unconnected to the recent developments in the state, in which 27 out of 32 members of the State House of Assembly, who are loyalists of the FCT Minister, defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Before the meeting kicked off earnestly, the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, was seen attending the meeting.
