No going back – Wike rules out reconciliation with Fubara
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the possibility of resolving his rift with Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara. Wike affirmed that he stands firm on his decision regarding Fubara.
During a media briefing marking his one year in office as FCT Minister, Wike emphasized his commitment to fulfilling President Bola Tinubu’s mandate rather than supporting Fubara.
The ongoing conflict between Wike and Fubara, which began after the governor took office, has caused divisions within the state House of Assembly, resulting in factions. Despite efforts by Tinubu and other political stakeholders, the crisis persists.
Wike said: “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 nolonger 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.”
