Suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has brushed aside criticisms questioning his political identity, reaffirming his commitment to restoring peace with his predecessor and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike.

News360 Nigeria reports that Fubara made these statement while addressing his ers in a viral video that surfaced online amid ongoing efforts to reconcile both political leaders following months of tension that rocked the state’s political structures.


The feud between Fubara and Wike, which began shortly after the governor assumed office in 2023, escalated to a point where governance in the state suffered disruptions, prompting President Bola Tinubu to declare a six-month emergency intervention to restore calm.

While hinting at a thaw in relations after a reported meeting involving Tinubu, Wike, and himself, Governor Fubara stated there was no reason peace should not return between him and his political mentor.

“There is no reason why there won’t be peace between me and my Oga,” Fubara said, referring to Wike. “We want peace so that Rivers will move forward.”

Responding to critics who label him a non-politician, Fubara questioned the criteria for such a label, asserting that what truly matters is the kind of respect one commands, earned, not enforced.

“They said I’m not a politician but I don’t know what is the entry requirement for wanting to be a politician. But I know that what is most important in this life is respect that I earned and not respect that is being forced,” he said.

He further assured his ers of his unwavering commitment to their welfare and encouraged open dialogue, promising to remain approachable and receptive to constructive criticism.

“I want to earn your respect by not bossing you but serving you. Feel free to tell me when I make mistakes. I need the of everyone and we need the of each other and again, I want to assure you that I’m with you completely,” Fubara added.

They are trying to break this man but they won't succeed, he will still fight back.

Man don see shege. Though Fubara is just saying all those to be absorbed again.

But that Wike is not to be allowed to control a whole state. Man is so interested in power and money.

He caved in.

Mariangeles:
He caved in.

He caved in because he didn't play his politics right. When he demolished the house 🏠 of assembly was when he lost it completely

Power power.

This Wike don learn tactics from Jagaban.

You must bow before him

Nawao they don turn this Governor to Zombie o. I pity Rivers State.

Better

I always say if you don't want to be controlled by a godfather don't go to him for anything. Not that after you have gotten the favours, you then someone is trying to Lord it over you.

That one is betrayal and not godfatherism

Better that all the issues are resolved and everything goes back to normal.

What's wrong with this fubara

Smart man. Play along, then show Wike sege later.

Everyone will collect sooner or later.

You showed your hand way too early especially when Wike has almost total control of the House.

Soap water don clear for hin eye..

This Fubara isn't tough at all. He was not built like that after all.

Bitter kids in the mud!

Politicians 🤦‍♂️

Thank you very much. He should be in prison by now for that act alone.

All the people ing him now would have been crying to the USA, UK, UN, WHO, and FIFA if another Governor had tried that tactic.

Nigerians and hypocrisy are twins anyway.
They only care about what they want not what is right.

Them don loyal this guy turn mugu

Well, dem say na play-along you wan do.
Make I assume say I no believe that claim Sha, cos you suppose don learn say Agreement is AGREEMENT.

I may not completely back the political drama between Wike and Fubara, but one thing is clear: if you have an agreement, you must honor it without exception.

Common sense finally coming back. If you don't want to lose out in politics, never let those who ed the Agulu fraud get behind you.

Emergency lovers of Rivers State in the mud.

😂😂😂😂😂 game sweet I swear first to lead isn’t the winner of the game. I still when this fubara playing like pro, demolishing buildings, making mouth 👄 anyhow, calling people rat 🐀, talking about how he makes the assembly exist, how he was the one holding the pen 🖊️. Just look at him now 😁😁😁

What a disgraceful thing to say. It's like Nigeria wants fiefdom, if that's the case, let's leave this democracy thing and go to grab it, Snatch it and run away with it.

Wike is not the first godfather we'll have. Adelabu showed Ladoja something. Nnamani tried to become a lord, Akpabio, Oshiomole, Orji Uzor Kalu, Sani Yerima, Dariye, Akume, Ibori, Igbinedion, Bafarra have all tried it. They failed. They will eventually fight.

One thing they never did, except maybe Chris Ngige is to carry the shrine of their godfather and show it to us. The office of the governor is more powerful than the governor. If this man doesn't want it, let him resign.

I don't blame him, what you didn't fight for and they dashed you, it's hard to appreciate. Imagine Tonye Cole talking like this.

Fubara will soon turn enemy of the bitter leave people
Especially when he later APC
