The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara is currently in a closed-door meeting with Elders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

We understand that the meeting is not unconnected with the move by some lawmakers in the State House of Assembly to impeach the governor of the state.

The move to impeach the Governor, on Sunday night, led to the burning of the hallowed chambers of the assembly.

The persons at the meeting include Elder Ferdinand Alabaraba, Leader of PDP Elders Forum, Chief Sergeant Awuse, the Chairman of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, OCJ Okocha, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and Bro Felix Obuah, the Campaign Director of PDP/Fubara for the 2023 election.

The meeting was held at the residence of the governor in Government House, Port Harcourt.

A source that spoke with Vanguard, said the elders were in Government House to intervene in the ensuing crisis in the state.

The source, who did not want his name mentioned, said the elders had pleaded with Fubara to shelve further action while the team consulted all parties involved to bring in peace.

There are insinuations that the Rivers Governor is at loggerheads with the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
