Why I Won’t Settle Rift With Fubara – Wike

Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, dismissed the possibility of reconciliation with Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara.

Wike chastised Fubara and his allies for failing to follow President Bola Tinubu’s directive delivered during a peace meeting he hosted.

Recall that in 2023, Fubara and Wike’s camp signed an eight-point peace deal negotiated by President Tinubu and other stakeholders at a critical meeting in the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

However, the agreement fell through, with Fubara saying he was pushed into signing the contract with Wike’s team.

During a media meeting in Abuja on Sunday, Wike said Fubara and his allies should have gone back to President Bola Tinubu to explain why they couldn’t follow the directives.

He said, “I’m wondering, what conflict to resolve? Mr President, in his wisdom, called all parties. He said, ‘This is the problem, and I want this problem to be resolved. Withdraw the impeachment notice. You go and do this; you go and do that. and everybody agreed with it.”

“The Assembly withdrew the impeachment notice; you did one and two, and then you sent people to go to court. Elder, have you gone back to Mr President to tell him this assignment you gave us? We’ve done one and two, but we can’t do three and four. Mr President, can you call us back to see whether we can find a solution to three and four since one and two have been executed?

“I have never seen this in my life—for a president to call parties, and one party goes back and says it’s political, not binding and unconstitutional. Who does that?”

The feud between Wike and Fubara began months after Fubara was inaugurated as governor, with the fight purportedly focussing on control of the state’s political resources.
