The trio were seen together at a funeral service in Rumueprikom, Wike’s hometown in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended Rivers State Governor alongside his predecessor FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the suspended Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule have again appeared in public.
They appeared in public together barely two days after a fresh round of peace talks at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The trio were seen together at a funeral service in Rumueprikom, Wike’s hometown in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Recall that the three key political figures in Rivers State have been locked in a political wrangling for almost two years.
Their being together comes in the wake of Thursday’s peace meeting brokered by President Bola Tinubu, which demanded an end to the lingering crisis between the Governor and his former political allies.
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.
Meanwhile, Governor Fubara is expected to hold a closed-door meeting today with his supporters, according to sources.
The meeting is intended to brief them on the outcome of the recent discussions with President Tinubu and Wike in Abuja.
