Days after Tinubu meeting, Fubara dissolves cabinet

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has dissolved his state executive council and removed commissioners, days after a meeting with Nigerian President Bola Tinubu amid an ongoing political crisis in the state. The move reshapes the Rivers State executive branch and signals an escalation or reset in the state-level power struggle. It matters because Rivers is a politically and economically significant state, and executive instability can affect governance continuity and federal–state political dynamics.
