High Chief Sobomabo Jackrich, popularly known as Egberipapa, has met with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, amid ongoing efforts to reconcile political differences in Rivers State.
Jackrich, a prominent ally of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, was the founder of the Simplicity Movement, a political group that backed the governor during the prolonged political crisis in the state.
The meeting with Wike comes as efforts continue to restore political stability and mend relationships among key actors in Rivers State.

Jackrich’s engagement with the former Rivers State governor is particularly significant given his previous alignment with Fubara during the political dispute that divided the state’s political establishment.
The meeting is expected to generate interest among political stakeholders, coming at a time when reconciliation efforts are being intensified to address lingering disagreements and promote unity among the state’s political leaders.
Details of the discussions between Jackrich and Wike were not immediately made public.
However, the meeting could signal a willingness among previously opposing political camps to engage in dialogue as efforts continue to resolve the issues that have shaped Rivers State’s recent political crisis.
