Prominent Nigerian activist and human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has softened his stance on the recent reconciliation between Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Adeyanju, who had initially warned that the truce could be facilitated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu might not endure, has now expressed cautious optimism following a recent show of unity among the key political actors.
The shift comes after Governor Fubara and the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, were spotted in Rumuepirikom on Saturday, attending the funeral of Wike’s late uncle, Elder Temple Omezurike Onuoha.
Their joint appearance alongside Wike was seen by many as a strong symbol of reconciliation.
In a post shared on his verified Facebook page shortly after a video of the event went viral, Adeyanju acknowledged that he might have misjudged the situation.
