Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has stated that his political crisis with Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), ultimately led to his freedom in governing the state.
Fubara made this remark while receiving Most Rev. Henry Ndukauba, Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, along with other bishops at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
Key Highlights of Fubara’s Statement:
📌 God’s Plan: Fubara suggested that without the crisis, he may not have gained the political independence he now enjoys.
📌 Failed Reconciliation Efforts: Despite multiple peace efforts—including President Bola Tinubu’s intervention—the crisis remained unresolved.
📌 Appreciation for the Clergy: The governor thanked Primate Ndukauba for his attempts to mediate, even though they did not yield the desired outcome.
📌 Peace vs. Conflict: He acknowledged that conflict sometimes paves the way for true peace, but emphasized that peace remains the best path for development.
Background:
The political rift between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, has been a major source of tension in Rivers State, affecting governance and party dynamics.
