President Tinubu has brokered an agreement between Governor Fubara and the 27 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members of the rivers state house of assembly who defected to the All-Progressive Congress (APC).

The Governor and the 27 lawmakers agreed to a peace deal, at the end of a peace meeting convened by Tinubu on Monday at the presidential villa, which they all attended.

It was resolved that Fubara and his assembly faction withdrew their litigations, while the 27 pro-Wike assembly faction drop all the impeachment process against the governor.

Also, the governor agreed to recognize the pro-Wike lawmakers and the speaker, release the fund of the assembly and stop interfering in their activities.
