After weeks of dramatic twists in Rivers State, the political gladiators in the oil-rich South-South state reached a truce on Monday after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Villa in Abuja.

The meeting had in attendance Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, ex-Rivers governor, Peter Odili; and some traditional rulers from the state.

After Monday’s meeting, the feuding parties signed an agreement that all matters instituted in the courts by Fubara, and his team, be withdrawn immediately. The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, also signed the document.

The Wike camp also agreed that all impeachment proceedings initiated against the governor by the Rivers State House of Assembly be dropped immediately, and the parties in the feud resolved to recognise the leadership of Martin Amaewhule in the Rivers State House of Assembly and not that of Edison Ehie.
