What I Told Fubara During Our Meeting – Wike Revealed by Citynobs May 13, 2025, 3:37 am According to a report by The Vanguard, Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has revealed details of a meeting with suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Wike stated that Fubara visited him accompanied by two governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to Wike, he told Fubara that he lacked the capacity to make peace, given the actions of his supporters. Wike expressed disappointment that Fubara’s associates were busy insulting others on television while Fubara claimed to be suing for peace. He emphasized that Fubara needed to take concrete steps to meet with stakeholders, including the State Assembly and party leaders, to facilitate reconciliation. The rift between Wike and Fubara began shortly after Fubara assumed office as Governor of Rivers State, escalating into a crisis in March. President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara, the deputy governor, and the Rivers Assembly, appointing a state administrator to run the state’s affairs for six months. Wike suggested that Fubara had been misled by some governors before the crisis escalated, stating that those governors were now nowhere to be seen. He recalled advising Fubara to be humble and not allow others to push him into taking actions that would harm his governorship. Wike’s comments underscore the deepening divide between the two leaders and highlight the need for Fubara to take proactive steps towards reconciliation. The situation in Rivers State remains tense, with Fubara’s suspension and the appointment of a state administrator adding complexity to the crisis.
