In a high-level meeting held in the United Kingdom, President Bola Tinubu and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara reportedly discussed the possibility of imposing emergency rule in the state amid rising political tensions.
Sources close to the talks revealed that the closed-door meeting focused on recent developments in Rivers State, where a deepening political crisis has sparked concerns about governance and security. The emergency rule option is said to be under consideration as a last resort if stability cannot be restored through political dialogue.
While no official statement has been released following the meeting, insiders suggest that both leaders are keen on preventing further escalation and are exploring ways to defuse tensions through diplomatic and constitutional means.
The UK meeting marks a significant step in efforts to address the ongoing political standoff, and stakeholders across the country are watching closely for potential outcomes in the coming days.
