President Tinubu Summons Ex-Rivers Administrator Ibas To Aso Rock

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu summoned the immediate past Rivers State Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), to the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.

Ibas arrived at the State House at about 5:50 p.m., accompanied to the meeting by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede.

Earlier, Edun had been sighted entering the villa briefly before leaving, only to return later carrying a file, underscoring the gravity of the engagement with the President.

Details of the engagement are yet to be confirmed as of the time of filing this report.

Ibas served six months as the sole administrator of the oil-rich state.

He left office on September 17, following the end of the six-month emergency rule, after the President directed the suspended state governor, Sir Sim Fubara, his deputy, and the state House of Assembly members to return to office from the previous Thursday.
