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also revealed that once President Tinubu got involved, the impeachment notice from the state assembly was immediately withdrawn.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 former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
