Wike yet to tell Fubara real reason for hostilities – Aide
The Special Assistant to the suspended Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Jerry Omotsegunwa, has stated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara has yet to be informed by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, about the cause of their ongoing political hostilities.
Fubara and Wike have been embroiled in a political crisis since late 2023, culminating in President Bola Tinubu declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025, which led to the suspension of Governor Fubara and members of the state’s House of Assembly.
Former Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, in a recent interview with DW, suggested that the rift between Wike and Fubara was centered around money sharing.
However, Amaechi, who is also a former governor of Rivers State, condemned President Tinubu’s imposition of emergency rule in the state, calling it an unconstitutional act.
