Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is taking steps to reconcile their differences.
Wike, a former Rivers Governor, revealed that Fubara visited him with two other governors.
The FCT Minister said this on Monday following reports that Fubara, suspended earlier in the year, visited him.
“Yes, he visited,” Wike confirmed the reports during a media parley with select journalists in Abuja.
“Yes, he came with two governors and one elder person. Unfortunately, the two governors are APC governors. So, I will not pursue him. He said he wants peace. That’s fine. I also want peace,” he said.
The rift between Wike and Fubara started shortly after latter assumed office as Governor of Rivers State.
The crisis reached a crescendo in March when President Bola Tinubu suspended Fubara, the deputy governor, Ngozi Odu and the Rivers Assembly.
Following their suspension, the President appointed a state administrator whom he saddled with the responsibility of running Rivers affairs for six months.
Meanwhile, Fubara has been suing for peace but Wike said the suspended governor needs to take more reconciliatory steps rather than allegedly organising protests against the President’s declaration of a state of emergency rule in Rivers State.
