Human rights activist and former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has hailed the settlement of the rift between Rivers State Governor, Similayi Fubara and his estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, calling it a “good news”.
He praised the intervention of the president in the crisis which led to the imposition of a state of emergency in River State on Friday via a post he shared on his X page.
TheNiche had earlier reported that President Tinubu met with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Wike, Fubara, and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly on Thursday evening.
According to the report, the president was able to resolve their differences after the meeting which took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Speaking on the development, Shehu Sani suggested that the battle between the two politicians may not be over.
The former senator added that those who fought for Fubara won’t be happy and will want him to continue fighting.
He, however, urged supporters of the governor to give peace a chance, arguing that Fubara is not an activist like Sowore.
Shehu Sani said: “The reconciliation efforts in Rivers is good news. Peace needs to return to the state and Fubara needs to return to his seat as soon as possible. I know that those who fought for Fubara are not happy and wants him to continue fighting. Fubara is Sim and not Comrade Sowore. The battle may not be over but let peace return to Rivers for now.”
