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also revealed that once President Tinubu got involved, the impeachment notice from the state assembly was immediately withdrawn.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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
