When many chairs circle "one fire," what does it reveal about the nature of power? This gathering, symbolized by grudges being shelved for survival, raises a profound question: Is this a permanent solution, or just a strategic truce? In a country where power often divides, this moment could be mere protocol, a temporary show of unity that allows all parties to secure their share of influence in Rivers State. Nigerians, in the meantime, are waiting for more details, watching to see if this peace is born of true reconciliation or mutual interest.
