Wike: Why I Can Never Make Peace With Fubara

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has ruled out any possibility of making peace with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, intensifying the ongoing political conflict between the two leaders.

Wike who spoke during a live media chat broadcast on several television stations in Abuja on Sunday, Wike criticised Fubara for failing to adhere to directives issued by President Bola Tinubu during a peace meeting aimed at resolving their differences.

Noting why he cannot make peace with Fubara, Wike said: “I’m wondering, what conflict to resolve? Mr President, in his wisdom, called all parties. He said withdraw the impeachment notice, you go and do this, you go and do that, but they never returned to him.

“The Assembly withdrew the impeachment notice; you did one and two, and then you sent people to go to court. Elder, have you gone back to Mr President to tell him we can’t do three and four? Nothing.

“I have never seen this in my life — for a president to call parties, and one party goes back and says it’s political. Who does that?”

GWG.ng reports that the assertions by Wike underscore the difficulty in the relationship between the former governor and his chosen successor Wike and the complexities of bringing peace to their relationship.

The conflict between the former governor and his successor has led to the divisions in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the State House of Assembly.

27 of the members of the State House of Assembly who are aligned to Wike have been branded as former members of the House by Governor Fubara following their defection, a development that has further complicated the process of making peace between the two personalities.
