Sim Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers State, pleaded with Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for reconciliation.

According to Wike, Fubara came to see him with two APC governors in an effort to mend fences.

He made this revelation on Monday at a news conference in Abuja.

Since the latter became governor in 2023, Wike and Fubara have been at odds.

As a result of the issue, President Bola Tinubu appointed a Sole Administrator and suspended Fubara for six months after announcing a state of emergency in Rivers State.

Wike asserted that in order to completely restore peace, Fubara must take a few essential actions.

Wike said, “The President had called for peace severally and I can’t sit down and say no when the President has called for peace.

“Yes he came with two governors, unfortunately they are APC governors – I won’t pursue him. He said he wants peace and I also want peace.

“This means that there are open window for you and take the necessary steps that you want peace. This is a self inflicted injury, he doesn’t need it.

“When it started I called him saying this thing is not good for you because God has given it to you, why not humbly handle it and not allow people push you?”

Additionally, Wike stated that there are no issues with the PDP in Rivers State.

He added: “We don’t have problem with PDP in my state. Government is not the party but government could work with the party, so there is no problem with PDP in my state.

“Atedo Peterside’s comment is unfortunate, saying appointees are riff-raffs is too extreme. PHD holders are riff-raffs because they could not establish a bank. If they had established a bank, they won’t have been riff-raffs.

“These are some of the people who caused problems for the governor. When we were making this young man governor, what was Peterside’s contribution? He’s from Opobo LGA.

“How can a man give a blanket insult that people are riff-raffs? Look, whatever position you occupy, your impact on your people is key.

“When Wigwe was alive, I called him – look you are in Lagos and everyday you fly down here, what have you done for Rivers State? At the level you are, what can you say you have contributed for the development of the state?

“He looked at me and said he would return in two weeks time. He came back, he said that he has thought about it. He told me he was going to setup a world class university.”
