Nyesom Wike Says He’ll Forgive Fubara If He Apologizes Sincerely
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says he’s willing to forgive suspended Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, but only if Fubara takes responsibility and offers a sincere apology.
Wike, who has been at odds with Fubara since he became governor in 2023, made this known during a media chat in Abuja. Their feud led to a major political crisis in Rivers, splitting the state assembly into factions and raising security concerns.
As the tension worsened, President Bola Tinubu stepped in, suspending Fubara for six months, declaring a state of emergency, and appointing a sole administrator to stabilize the situation.
Speaking on efforts to restore peace, Wike said no genuine steps have been taken by those close to Fubara. He questioned the sincerity of those claiming to want peace but doing nothing meaningful about it.
“I’ve asked her to name one elder in Rivers State working closely with the governor who has actually tried to bring peace,” he said. “If nothing is done, we’ll end up back where we started. That doesn’t help anyone.”
He also revealed that once President Tinubu got involved, the impeachment notice from the state assembly was immediately withdrawn. For Wike, the door is still open — but only if Fubara is honest and willing to make peace.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
