Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and the suspended Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule, have made their first public appearance together.
Naijaonpoint reports that the public outing comes barely two days after President Bola Tinubu brokered peace between the warring parties over the political crisis in Rivers State.
The three key political figures had been locked in a political crisis for nearly two years before Thursday’s peace meeting with President Tinubu, and the parties settled their differences, agreeing to work in the interest of the state.
Fubara, Wike and Amaewhule were at the burial of Wike’s Uncle in Rumuepirikom, the hometown of the FCT Minister in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Also present at the funeral service were key political stakeholders, including Senator Allwell Onyesoh, Senator George Thompson Sekibo, and Senator Olaka Nwogu.
Others include the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Chibudom Nwuche, former House of Representatives Member, Hon. Ken Chikere, South-South Vice Chairman of the ACP, Victor Giadom, and former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, among others.
Although no political statements were made at the event, the presence of the three political leaders in one place has reignited hope that the crisis, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency three months ago, may have come to an end.
