The crisis, primarily driven by tensions between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has significantly disrupted governance in the region.
In a statement last week, Okocha, speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt, forecasted that Rivers State could face even greater political turmoil in 2025.

He accused Governor Fubara of exacerbating divisions rather than fostering peace, claiming that the governor’s actions have contributed to the escalating conflict.
During an interview on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, Okocha reiterated his concerns, asserting that he does not foresee a resolution to the crisis this year. “I do not see Rivers coming out of this quagmire,” he stated.
Okocha also criticized Fubara for failing to extend an olive branch to Wike, his predecessor, during the recent holiday season.
