Rivers sole administrator.webp
President Bola Tinubu has called for a meeting with retired Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, the former sole administrator of Rivers State, at the State House in Abuja. The meeting, which also included the EFCC chairman and the finance minister, comes days after the end of the six-month emergency rule in the state and amid plans by the Rivers assembly to probe the state’s finances under Ibas’s administration.

  • Ibas served as sole administrator during Rivers’ six-month emergency rule.
  • The meeting was attended by EFCC Chair Ola Olukoyede and Finance Minister Wale Edun.
  • The agenda of the discussion was not immediately disclosed.
  • Emergency rule ended on September 17, with Governor Fubara reinstated.
  • Rivers lawmakers have resolved to investigate the state’s finances under Ibas.
  • Ibas has previously rejected the assembly’s probe resolution.
  • The meeting signals an ongoing high-level review of the Rivers situation.
  • It may relate to accountability or transition matters after the emergency rule.
As political normalcy returns to Rivers, the summoning of key figures hints at unsettled accounts—and the quiet storms that follow emergency power.
