EXCLUSIVE: Tinubu to reinstate Fubara — but with a condition he won’t seek re-election
President Bola Tinubu has agreed to reinstate Siminalayi Fubara as the governor of Rivers state — but with the condition that he will not seek reelection in 2027, TheCable can report.
The truce was reached during a closed-door meeting on Thursday night at the Presidential Villa, where Tinubu hosted Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT); Fubara; Martin Amaewhule, the suspended speaker of the Rivers assembly; and a handful of lawmakers.
Presidency sources say the deal, part of a broader effort to restore democratic order in Rivers, involves significant concessions.
According to insiders, one of the key terms is that @SimFubaraKSC will be reinstated to complete his four-year tenure but must forgo any plans to seek a second term in 2027 — a move that will limit his clout but to which he agreed.
A source said, as part of the conditions, Wike would be allowed to nominate all the local government chairpersons across the 23 LGAs of the state.
