The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has met with the suspended members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The meeting was disclosed by the minister’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, via his Facebook page.
“Yesterday, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, hosted Rivers State House of Assembly members who are in the United Kingdom for Legislative Capacity Building, to a dinner. Wike left Nigeria on Sunday night after visiting his political friends and associates in Port Harcourt, Rivers State,” Olayinka stated.
The development came after Wike’s earlier meeting with some of his political allies in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Sunday.
Recall that the lawmakers were suspended by President Bola Tinubu after declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State due to security concerns.
Governor Sim Fubara was also suspended for six months, following the declaration of an emergency rule which stemmed from the political crisis between Wike and Fubara.
