‘How To Deal With Wike’: Fubara, Bala Mohammed Exchange Notes
By Emmanuel Aziken

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has taken position in the war between his estranged predecessor and onetime benefactor Nyesom Wike and Governor Bala Mohammed by throwing full support for the Bauchi State governor.
Fubara stated this as he affirmed his resolve to work harmoniously with Bala Mohammed, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, to reposition the party in the right direction.
This is as he restated the cordial working relationship between Rivers and Bauchi states under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed.

Governor Fubara made the assertion when he paid a condolence visit to the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammad in Bauchi to condole with him and his family on the demise of his Step Mother, Hajia Hauwa Mohammed on Saturday.
The Governor, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, noted the enormous task ahead in repositioning the party, but asserted that time has come when people need to come out strong and take a position that will rightly get things done properly.
He said, “As a State, we have always worked together with the Bauchi Government. Not just the Bauchi Government, but this particular government, which I happen to be the Deputy to him as the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
“What I am doing here is to show everyone that we have a good working relationship, and we are in together to make sure that we work to set those things that are wrong rightly in the party. I know it is not an easy task, and names would be called, but it gets to a time when you come out strongly and take a position so that things will be done rightly.”
GWG.ng reports that the assertions by Governor Fubara come against the bitter war of words between Wike and Bala Mohammed in the last week.
Fubara’s visit was ostensibly to condole Bala Mohammed on the death of his step-mother.
Responding, the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, lauded Governor Siminalayi Fubara for the visit to empathize and sympathize with his family, saying it demonstrates the closeness between both of them.

Senator Mohammed noted the support his state had always given to Governor Fubara, which he described as a “Good SIM for Rivers and for Nigeria”, assuring that his state will continue to stand on the side of justice, equity and truth.
He congratulated Governor Fubara for his dexterity in taking back the political structure of the PDP in the State, which the present reality confers him as Governor and leader.
Governor Mohammed noted the support given to Governor Fubara by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, assuring that with all the Governors already with him, they will continue to close rank to ensure that they minimize rancor in the party, except where it is necessary to straighten records.
