The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, paid a visit to the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, at his residence in Abuja.
The visit was disclosed in a statement by the minister’s spokesman, Lere Olayinka, on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
Olayinka wrote, “The Uncommon Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during his visit to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, in his residence today.”

In another development, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected a state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu in Rivers state.
The opposition party says the president does not have the power to suspend Siminalayi Fubara, an elected governor.
On Tuesday night, Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.
The president also suspended Fubara, his deputy and the members of the state assembly who are loyal to the FCT Minister.
