There was excitement as Rivers state Governor Siminialaye Fubara embraced the former Governor Chibuike Amaechi at the the funeral service of the late Dr. Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe, former CEO of Access Bank, his wife Chizoba and son, Chizi.
This is the first time they are seen in public together since the govenor came to office.
Amaechi is an arch rival of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and the enstranged godfather of Gov. Fubara.
Gov. Fubara and Wike has been at loggerheads over who controls the oil-rich state.
The expression of happiness on the faces of the Bayelsa state Governor, Douye Diri who was standing by the duo and other guests at the occasion over the development cannot be over emphasised.
His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Pastor Eno Umo, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, alongside other distinguished guests attended the funeral service, which was held at R.C.C.G Lion of Judah Parish, Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA of Rivers State.
The struggle for control of the state has been intense and pundits say the governor was using everything at his disposable to retain power.
