…Talks held behind closed doors as political temperature rises in Rivers

LAGOS — In a dramatic twist that has sent political tongues wagging, the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, paid a surprise visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his private residence in Lagos on Monday night.

The unexpected meeting—shrouded in secrecy—comes amid heightened tensions in Rivers State’s political landscape, where Fubara’s suspension has deepened cracks within the ruling party and raised questions about loyalty, power-sharing, and federal influence.

Eyewitnesses confirmed seeing Fubara’s convoy arrive discreetly at Tinubu’s Bourdillon residence, where he was received under tight security. Sources close to the Presidency hinted that the two men held a closed-door session lasting over an hour, with no official statement released afterward.

The visit is already sparking speculations about a possible reconciliation move—or a strategic political realignment—just as the nation watches Rivers State’s crisis unfold.

This development adds a fresh layer of intrigue to the already boiling cauldron of intra-party conflict rocking the oil-rich state.

Is Tinubu offering an olive branch, or laying down the gauntlet?

As Nigerians await clarity, one thing is certain: Fubara’s Lagos move is a political chess play with national implications.
