Tinubu, Fubara Reportedly Meet In London

April 23, (THEWILL) – President Bola Tinubu reportedly met with suspended Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, in London, while on a working visit. According to Africa Report, the meeting centred on the restoration of a democratically elected government following the declaration of emergency rule in Rivers. The President had, on March 18, suspended Governor Fubara and his deputy along with the Rivers State House of Assembly for an initial period of six months and appointed Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas (rtd) as Administrator in charge of the State.

Although THEWILL has not independently confirmed the meeting, sources privy to the discussions said there were talks to see Fubara back in power before his six-month suspension elapses. President Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Monday, 19 days after visits to France and London..
