Wike, Fubara meet in Abuja
Some political pundits have blamed Wike for the impeachment attempt on the governor. Many have accused the minister of being the move of the lawmakers who are orchestrating the action to impeach the governor.
But on Tuesday, October 31, President Tinubu used the opportunity of the Police Council meeting in which Wike and Fubara were in attendance to step into the feud and sue for peace between the two political gladiators.
President Tinubu's intervention was disclosed by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who addressed state correspondents after the police council's meeting, which was held at the State House in Abuja.
PDP Governors resolve to work with Tinubu
Despite their reported rift, Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, earlier exchange pleasantries at the presidential villa before the commencement of the meeting.
Governor Muhammed, who also doubled as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors' Forum, said they have resolved to work with President Tinubu because the president had shown good faith as he did not interfere with the governorship election cases the PDP had filed in courts.
