The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, met for a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
This unexpected rendezvous captured them engaging in a cordial handshake, signaling a potentially momentous turn of events.
The meeting followed the commencement of impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara by the Rivers State House of Assembly, an action that sent shockwaves throughout the state on Monday.
Sources reveal that Governor Fubara, along with Nyesom Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, had been summoned to the Presidential Villa to partake in a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council, a constitutional entity responsible for overseeing the organization and administration of the Nigeria Police Force.
The council, presided over by Bola Tinubu, boasts representation from each state governor in the Federation, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, and the Inspector-General of Police, making it a critical body for shaping law enforcement policies in the country.
This high-profile gathering marks the first meeting of the Nigeria Police Council since June 4, 2021, when it was presided over by then-President Muhammadu Buhari, underscoring the exceptional nature of this recent assembly.
