Wike and Fubara Need to Explain the Real Cause of Their Conflict – Omotsegunwa
Jerry Omotsegunwa, Special Assistant on Electronic Media to the suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has said that both FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Fubara need to come forward and explain the real cause of their political fallout.
According to Omotsegunwa, neither Wike nor Fubara has clearly stated what led to their dispute. “The FCT minister has not told us anything that led to the crisis, and the governor too has not provided any clarity,” he said.
The rift between the two escalated into a full-blown political crisis, prompting President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025. Tinubu also suspended Fubara and members of the State House of Assembly.
Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, in an interview with DW, attributed the crisis to money, criticizing Tinubu’s emergency rule decision as unconstitutional.
Reacting to Amaechi’s claim, Omotsegunwa said it remains a personal opinion, as the real reason behind the crisis is still unclear.
“This crisis has lasted almost two years, yet nobody has come out to state exactly what the problem is,” he said. “When they talked about impeaching the governor, he asked, ‘What is my offence?’ And the FCT minister responded that he tried to destroy his political structure. Even with this, we are still left without real answers.”
Omotsegunwa added that while he wouldn’t dispute Amaechi’s stance, it remains just his personal perspective.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
