Wike comments on Tinubu/Aregbesola relationship

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday ruled out the possibility of settling the rift with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.Wike said he’s not going back on his decision on Fubara.

Addressing a media parley to mark his one year in office as FCT Minister, Wike said he’s focused on delivering President Bola Tinubu’s mandate and not supporting Fubara.

Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since the governor assumed office.

The face-off between the duo affected the state House of Assembly, leading to factions.

Despite attempts by Tinubu and other relevant political stakeholders, the crisis has continued.

Wike said: “In good conscience, I fought for Fubara to become governor without any regrets and you now say you don’t want to be part of the family; no problem. Aregbesola was brought by Tinubu but he’s nolonger with the president again.

“In all honesty, I can tell you that there is no going back and my people know. What support? Have I come out of the one I did? Some people don’t play politics of integrity, but I do. He’s the one that say ‘dey your dey’ so let me ‘dey my dey.’

“This doesn’t worry me because I’m focused on the mandate Mr President gave me in FCT.”
