Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been charged by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike of disobeying the accord made at a peace conference called by President Bola Tinubu a few months ago.

Speaking at a Media Chat on Sunday, Wike pointed out that Fubara violated the agreement by going to court even though the president’s intervention resulted in the retraction of the impeachment notice against him.

Fubara and his supporters were chastised by Wike for not following the instructions given during the meeting. He pointed out that rather than acting alone, Fubara and his allies ought to have informed the president if they couldn’t carry out all of the orders.

Remember that Nyesom Wike and Siminalayi Fubara have been at odds for a number of months. As a result of their dispute, Rivers State now has parallel assemblies with factional speakers, one of whom is allied with Wike and the other with Fubara.

Wike questioned Siminalayi Fubara’s dedication to the conflict resolution efforts, pointing out that important elements of the accord have not been executed despite the president’s explicit directives during the peace negotiations.

He said, “The president of our nation, in his own wisdom, said, ‘You come, you come, sit down. This is the problem; I want this problem to be resolved. You go, withdraw the impeachment notice. You go, do this . You go, do that.’ The parties went home, and the assembly withdrew the impeachment notice.

“You did one, you did two, and then you sent people to go to court. Have you gone back to Mr. President? This assignment you gave— we’ve done one, we’ve done two, but we were not able to do three and four. Please, Mr. President, can you call us back to see whether we can find a solution to three and four, since one and two have been executed? Nothing. The next thing you see is, ‘Somebody did this, somebody did that.”
