It’s fight to finish with Fubara, no room for reconciliation–Wike fires back on Rivers crisis
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says there’s no room for reconciliation with his successor, Rivers State Governor Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
While ruling out the possibility of settling the rift with Fubara, Wike said he’s not going back on his decision on his estranged political son.
Wike while addressing a media parley to mark his one year in office as FCT Minister, said he’s focused on delivering President Bola Tinubu’s mandate and not supporting Fubara.
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since the governor assumed office following disagreements over the control of party structure and resources in the state.
The face-off between both men affected the state House of Assembly, resulting in the legislature breaking into factions.
President Tinubu and other relevant political stakeholders’ intervention has not stopped the crisis.
According to Wike, “In good conscience, I fought for Fubara to become governor without any regrets and you now say you don’t want to be part of the family; no problem. Aregbesola was brought by Tinubu but he’s no longer with the president again.
“In all honesty, I can tell you that there is no going back and my people know. What support? Have I come out of the one I did? Some people don’t play politics of integrity, but I do. He’s the one that say ‘dey your dey’ so let me ‘dey my dey.’
“This doesn’t worry me because I’m focused on the mandate Mr President gave me in FCT.”
