Rivers Crisis: Wike Yet to Disclose Real Reason for Rift with Fubara

Published

on

Jerry Omotsegunwa, the Special Assistant on Electronic Media to the suspended Governor of Rivers State, has stated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains uninformed about the actual cause of the ongoing political discord between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Since late 2023, Fubara and Wike have been caught in a political crisis that recently escalated when President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025. This action resulted in the suspension of Governor Fubara and members of the state’s House of Assembly.

In a recent interview with DW, Rotimi Amaechi, former Transport Minister and ex-Governor of Rivers State, suggested that the conflict between Wike and Fubara stemmed from disagreements over the sharing of funds. However, Amaechi criticized President Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in the state, describing it as unconstitutional.

Responding to Amaechi’s claims, Omotsegunwa, in a conversation with The PUNCH on Sunday, stated that Wike has not openly addressed the reason behind his discontent with Fubara. He characterized Amaechi’s remark as a personal view, emphasizing that the underlying issue of the conflict remains unresolved after almost two years.

Omotsegunwa remarked, “At present, I will not challenge Amaechi’s statement, as he is entitled to his opinion. This crisis has persisted for nearly two years, yet no one has disclosed the root cause.”

He further explained that neither the FCT Minister nor Governor Fubara has provided any explanation for the crisis. He also referenced an incident where calls for the governor’s impeachment arose, but Fubara questioned the reason for such actions. The FCT Minister reportedly accused the governor of attempting to dismantle his political structure, but Omotsegunwa noted that the situation remains vague.

Concluding his remarks, Omotsegunwa acknowledged Amaechi’s right to express his perspective while reiterating that, until Wike provides a detailed explanation, the exact reason for the conflict remains uncertain.

When approached for comments on Sunday, Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, declined to respond.

The National Chairman of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has asserted that the party is exceptionally fortunate to feature former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, as its presidential candidate for the upcoming 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A Strong Endorsement for Donald Duke

  • Surpassing Competitors: Speaking during an interview, Baba-Ahmed confidently stated that, candidate for candidate, Donald Duke outperforms all other presidential contenders currently in the political space.

  • Integrity and Capability: He described Duke as part of a visionary leadership blueprint aimed at thinking critically, restoring national dignity, exhibiting true integrity, and offering young Nigerians a leadership style they can genuinely look up to.

The Strategic Push for an Opposition Coalition

Despite possessing what he considers the superior candidate, Baba-Ahmed explained why the party is actively championing a broader political alliance:

  • Consensus Over Ego: The PRP chairman emphasized that the party’s push for a mega-coalition is driven by consensus and constitutional processes rather than forcing Duke’s candidacy through on profile strength alone.

  • Defeating Fault Lines: Framing the 2027 election as a critical turning point for the nation, Baba-Ahmed noted that the stakes go far beyond individual party ambitions. The coalition aims to unite likeminded opposition forces to rescue Nigeria from its current trajectory and bridge its deep fault lines.
