Rivers State at Peace Again After Tinubu’s Mediation – Fubara

Suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has announced that peace has returned to the state following a high-level reconciliation meeting facilitated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.

Speaking to journalists after the closed-door session, Fubara described the outcome as a divine intervention and pledged to do everything possible to maintain the peace achieved.

“For me, it’s a day we have to thank Almighty God. What we need for the progress of Rivers State is peace and by the special grace of God this night, with the help of Mr President and the agreement of the leaders of the state, our leader, peace has returned in Rivers State. We’ll do everything within our power to make sure that we sustain it this time around,” he said.

The meeting, convened by President Tinubu attracted Fubara and his estranged godfather, Chief Nyesom Wike, who serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Echoing the Governor’s sentiment, Wike affirmed that both parties have buried the hatchet and committed to working together going forward.

“We have all agreed to work together with the governor, and the governor also agreed to work together with all of us. We are members of the same political family,” Wike said.

He acknowledged that while disagreements are a natural part of human relations, reconciliation is also part of the process, and that has now been accomplished.

“Yes, just like humans, you have a disagreement, and then you also have a time to settle your disagreement. That has been finally concluded today. We have come to report to Mr. President that this is what we have agreed. So, for me, everything is over,” the FCT Minister stated.

He further appealed to all political actors in Rivers to align with the renewed spirit of unity and cooperation, urging: “I enjoin everybody who believes to work with us, to also work together with everybody. There’s no more acrimony. There’s nothing to say.”

The Thursday night meeting, which observers say may mark a turning point in Rivers’ turbulent political climate, follows months of political tension and institutional power tussles between the state executive and factions within the legislature believed to be loyal to opposing camps.

 Tinubu, who intervened in December 2023 to broker a truce, is widely credited for orchestrating Thursday’s renewed peace accord.

Details of the agreement have not been disclosed but both parties emerged from the meeting with visible signs of reconciliation and shared commitment to the state’s progress.

Political watchers now await the practical outcomes of the agreement, particularly in the functioning of the state’s institutions and the long-term stability of the Rivers polity.

Governor Sule seals $2m Lithium deal with Chinese Firm

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has presided over the signing of a $2 million supplementary lithium agreement between the state government and Diamond New Energy, following his recent visit to China.   The agreement was signed at the Nasarawa State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Friday, August 14, 2026. Sule said the deal would help keep the company’s lithium processing factory operational while protecting jobs created by the investment. > “We are going to keep your factory functional, and we also have an interest as license owners in whatever you are doing in your company. More importantly, the people you have employed will remain employed,” the governor said. According to Channels Television, the governor said the state moved quickly to secure the relevant mining licence to ensure continued access to raw materials and prevent another party from obtaining the licence. The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Margaret Elayo, expressed appreciation to the investors and said the partnership could encourage further investment in Nasarawa. The signing was witnessed by officials from the state Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the Nasarawa State Investment Development Agency (NASIDA), Diamond New Energy and Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited. Sule also urged the company to maintain peaceful relations with host communities and contribute to their development. He disclosed that payments due to the state under the agreement would be made in foreign currency directly to Nasarawa Mining Company Limited, with the terms subject to periodic review. Agreement builds on 2024 mining deal NASIDA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Ibrahim Abdullahi said the state government had signed an exclusive mining cooperation agreement with the company in 2024. He said the partnership had contributed to the completion of what he described as the largest lithium processing refinery in West Africa. The supplementary agreement allows the continued supply of lithium materials from the state government’s mining block to serve as feedstock for the refinery. Abdullahi said the arrangement was expected to create further employment opportunities for young people and women in Nasarawa. He added that the state would receive $2 million immediately upon signing, with additional revenues expected under the agreement. A representative of Diamond New Energy, David Siong, said the company remained committed to expanding its operations in Nasarawa, including local processing of resources, job creation and supporting economic development in host communities. The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Isaac Danladi, also presented copies of a deed of assignment transferring the mining rights and interests of Nasarawa Mining Company within 3.5 mining cadastral units in Endo, Nasarawa Local Government Area, to Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited.
