I’m now ready to work with Fubara” – Nyesom Wike
FCT Minister and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has stated that he is now prepared to work with his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, after months of political tension and open conflict between the two.
Wike made this declaration during a public event, signaling a possible end to the long-running feud that has sharply divided the Rivers State political landscape and caused instability in the state’s governance.
This shift comes after several interventions from national leaders, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who previously brokered a peace deal between both camps. While Fubara had often maintained a more reserved tone, Wike had been vocal about his displeasure over the governor’s actions, especially concerning control over the state structure.
Wike’s statement suggests a willingness to put aside personal and political differences for the sake of the state’s progress — though many observers remain cautious about how genuine or long-lasting the truce will be.
