The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, held a meeting with the Rivers State Elders Council in Port Harcourt on Saturday.

 

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

 

Photos from the meeting were shared on Sunday morning by Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communication and New Media, via his official X handle. He captioned the images, stating that the Rivers political family is “fully united.”

 

“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 in a meeting in Port Harcourt yesterday,” Olayinka posted.
