The governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have convened an emergency meeting to address the crisis between the governor of Rivers State, Fubara, and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Emerging reports say the issues between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Minister Wike, are said to be connected to Fubara’s move to revive the state-owned Songhai Farm, which was initiated by former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, as well as the governor’s recent swearing in of four commissioners without the express permission of Wike.
