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