President Bola Tinubu is currently holding a high-level meeting with principal officers of the National Assembly and top security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
In attendance are Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, and key security officials, including Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele. Also seen arriving for the meeting were the Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), Adeola Ajayi, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Mohammed Mohammed.
Although the agenda of the meeting has not been officially disclosed, it is believed to be linked to the escalating political crisis in Rivers State, where lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, are pushing for the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The political standoff has raised tensions in the state, leading to fears of instability.
The meeting also follows a pipeline explosion that rocked the Trans Niger Pipeline in Bodo Community, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The blast, which occurred late Monday near the Bodo-Bonny Road, has further heightened concerns over security and stability in the oil-rich region.
