Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, ruled out the possibility of settling the rift with Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Wike said he was not going back on his decision on Governor Fubara.
Addressing a media parley to mark his one year in Office as FCT Minister, Barr. Wike said he was focused on delivering President Bola Tinubu’s mandate and not supporting Fubara.
Recall that the former Rivers State Governor and his successor had been at loggerheads since the governor assumed office.
The face-off between the duo affected the state’s House of Assembly, leading to factions.
Despite attempts by President Tinubu and other relevant political stakeholders, the crisis has continued.
According to the FCT MInister, “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 no longer 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.”
