Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, and Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, met on Saturday with members of the Rivers State Elders Council in Port Harcourt amid efforts to consolidate peace and unity within the state’s political circle.

Also in attendance were the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, and Chairman of the Rivers State Elders Council, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Minister on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, shared photos from the meeting via his official X handle on Sunday morning, describing the gathering as a show of solidarity.

“FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, Chairman of the Rivers State Elders Council, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, and other leaders met in Port Harcourt yesterday. The political family is fully united,” Olayinka wrote.
