Nyesom Wike, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and council chairpersons have met with Governor Siminalayi Fubara in another attempt to settle the state's long-running political feud. The two camps have spent more than a year fighting over who controls Rivers State's institutions, a fight that began when Fubara parted ways with his predecessor Wike. The dispute has spilled through court battles, attempts at impeachment and standoffs over the budget. With the 2027 elections drawing nearer, both sides have growing reasons to fix their rivalry through agreements rather than open conflict. Nobody can say for certain whether this meeting produces a lasting settlement or simply opens the next round of negotiations over political control. Details of what was discussed were not released right away. People in Rivers State have seen reconciliations announced before, only for the truce to fall apart.
