Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reportedly struck a deal with President Bola Tinubu in a bid to end the lingering political crisis in the state.
This comes after the two met in London last week.
The meeting took place quietly last week, shortly after the president left Paris, and was not made public at the time.
Governor Fubara, who was suspended on March 18 after a state of emergency was declared in Rivers State, reportedly requested the meeting.
President Tinubu had appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) as sole administrator to oversee the affairs of the state during the emergency period.
According to a source familiar with the matter, Governor Fubara is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as part of the resolution plan.
