Fubara Engages Unlikely Allies To Solidify Position As Rivers Governor

In an apparent bid to consolidate himself in power, Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has begun to reach out to politicians within and outside the state, aligning and realigning forces, whose association he thinks can help him navigate the maze of political crisis produced by the recent faceoff with his political godfather, Nyesom Wike.

Fubara, on Thursday, visited his nearest neighbour, Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, and Senator Azuta Mbata from Rivers State, to seek further unity between the two states.
