Drama as Shettima asks Fubara to greet Wike at Presidential Villa meeting

Vice President Kashim Shettima caused a mild drama on Thursday after he requested Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to greet the 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.

Some service chiefs were also at the meeting.

It was reliably gathered that Tinubu summoned the meeting to address the economic hardship, and recent upsurge in insecurity, in different parts of the country.

Meanwhile, Wike and Fubara have endured a silent cold war 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.
