The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revealed that he won’t be resolving the ongoing conflict he has with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara.
Wike made the disclosure during a media briefing in Abuja on Sunday, where he criticized Fubara and his supporters for refusing to implement President Bola Tinubu’s directives.
The minister stated, “I’m wondering, what conflict to resolve? Mr President, in his wisdom, called all parties. He said withdraw the impeachment notice, you go and do this, you go and do that, but they never returned to him.
“The Assembly withdrew the impeachment notice; you did one and two, and then you sent people to go to court. Elder, have you gone back to Mr President to tell him we can’t do three and four? Nothing.
“I have never seen this in my life — for a president to call parties, and one party goes back and says it’s political. Who does that?”
The conflict between Wike and Fubara began months following Fubara’s inauguration as governor.
The struggle between the two is allegedly due to control of the state’s political resources.
