On March 18, 2025, President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, citing escalating political tensions that threatened governance and public order. Against this backdrop, the renewed dialogue between Fubara and Wike, under the guidance of respected political elders, represents a possible path forward in stabilizing the region’s leadership.
