The suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, have announced an end to their political dispute and pledged to work together.
The two, who belong to the same political camp but have been at odds for months, made the statement during a joint interview on Thursday night with Sunday Moses, President Bola Tinubu’s official videographer.
Wike, speaking on the reconciliation, said the conflict had ended.
“We have all agreed to work together. Everything is over. We are members of the same political family. As humans, we have disagreements. We also have time to settle the disagreements. There is no more acrimony. Everything is over. It’s a day we have to thank the Almighty,” Wike stated.
Governor Fubara also stressed the need for peace in the state.
“It’s important that this day has come. What we need in Rivers is peace. We shall do everything in our power to sustain peace in Rivers State,” he said.
The disagreement between Fubara and Wike had caused tension in the state’s power structure and attracted national attention.
