Drama as Shettima asks Fubara to greet Wike in Presidential Villa

There was a mild drama in the Presidential Villa as Vice President Kashim Shettima called Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to greet his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Shettima made the request during a meeting between state governors and President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday.

Some service chiefs were also in attendance at the meeting.

Tinubu summoned the meeting to address the economic hardship, and recent upsurge in insecurity, in different parts of the country.

Recall that Wike and Fubara have clashed over the leadership of Rivers State.

Wike, who is the immediate past governor of Rivers, has been trying to hold unto the political structure in the state despite being a minister.

Despite signing a peace deal brokered by Tinubu, there are indications that Wike and Fubara are engaged in a cold war.
