Rivers Crisis: Why I Won’t Settle Rift With Fubara- Wike

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has ruled out any chance of reconciling with Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara.

Wike criticized Fubara and his supporters for failing to adhere to President Bola Tinubu’s directives from a peace meeting he facilitated.

In 2023, both parties signed an eight-point peace agreement, brokered by President Tinubu and other key stakeholders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. However, the agreement fell apart, with Fubara later claiming he was pressured into signing it.

Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja on Sunday, Wike stated that Fubara and his allies should have approached President Tinubu to explain their inability to comply with 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 conflict between Wike and Fubara began months after Fubara’s inauguration as governor, with the struggle allegedly centred on control of the state’s political resources.
