Emboldened Rivers State Governor Simi Fubara has insisted that he would not make any peace with the Federal Capital Territory minister Nyesom Wike and his camp as far as the state’s politics is concerned.
Both Wike and Fubara are at loggerheads and they are both struggling for the soul of the oil rich state. The state governor, who enjoyed Wike’s support in the last general elections, said that the 27 lawmakers led by Martins Amaewhule are not going to be re-integrated into the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Fubara added that he had given enough time for them to have peace. He said that no Nigerian governor would take the insults that Wike’s loyalists have hurled at him.
“It is too late, and the truth is that we are not going back. We have given them enough room for peace. There is no governor in Nigeria who can take the kind of insult I took from those set of people.
He said, “I want to say this, maybe for some persons somewhere who are still mixing up issues. We have only one Assembly and that Assembly is headed by Rt. Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo.
“A group of friends about nine months ago embarked on what is called the sea-bared journey; halfway through the vessel, while they were coasting, they realized that they were entering the den of devils and sharks, and they now want to retreat.
“As it stands now, our major target is the interest of Rivers State, and we will continue to defend the integrity of governance. As far as I am concerned, we have moved on.”
Fubara pledged to remain focused on defending the interests of Rivers State and ensuring the integrity of governance.
He said, “We will make sure that we kick-start, so that the record of performance that was accorded by this administration in the year 2024 will be higher in this year, 2025.
