Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Tuesday paid a visit to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, at his residence in Abuja.
The visit comes amid heightened political tensions following President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State and the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara. While details of their discussions remain undisclosed, the meeting is expected to spark speculation regarding its implications for the unfolding crisis in Rivers State.

Akpabio and Wike, both key political figures within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), have maintained a close alliance. Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, has been at the center of the political conflict gripping the state, with tensions between him and his successor, Fubara, escalating in recent months.
Political observers are keenly watching whether Akpabio’s visit signals a potential intervention or mediation effort in the crisis. More details on the outcome of their discussions are expected to emerge in the coming days.
