Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, accompanied by a delegation of state lawmakers and council chairmen, met with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara in Port Harcourt to discuss reconciliation.

The meeting brought together Wike, who previously served as governor of Rivers before his appointment to the federal cabinet, and a group of legislators and local government leaders from the state. All participants gathered in the state capital for a closed‑door discussion.

According to the brief report, the purpose of the gathering was to address reconciliation, though no specific issues or outcomes were disclosed.

Rivers State, a major oil‑producing region in southern Nigeria, has often been the focus of political attention, making dialogue between federal and state officials a notable development.

The session concluded without a public statement on any agreements reached, signalling only that the parties are engaging in direct talks to smooth relations.
