Rivers crisis: Fubara came with two APC govs to beg me –Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has confirmed that the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara begged him for reconciliation.

Wike said Fubara visited him with two governors of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to seek reconciliation.

He disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Monday.

Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since the latter assumed office as governor in 2023.

The crisis led to President Bola Tinubu suspending Fubara for six months after declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State, while appointing a Sole Administrator.

However, Wike said Fubara needs to take certain necessary steps to fully restore peace.

Wike said, “The President had called for peace severally and I can’t sit down and say no when the President has called for peace.

“Yes he came with two governors, unfortunately they are APC governors – I won’t pursue him. He said he wants peace and I also want peace.

“This means that there are open window for you and take the necessary steps that you want peace. This is a self inflicted injury, he doesn’t need it.

“When it started I called him saying this thing is not good for you because God has given it to you, why not humbly handle it and not allow people push you?”

Wike also declared that the PDP has no problem in Rivers State.

He added: “We don’t have problem with PDP in my state. Government is not the party but government could work with the party, so there is no problem with PDP in my state.”
