The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday, JUNE 26, night confirmed that the political rift between him and Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been resolved following a peace meeting brokered by President Bola Tinubu in Abuja.

Wike, speaking to journalists after the closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said both camps had reached a final agreement to end hostilities and work in unity.

“We have all agreed to work together with the governor, and the governor also agreed to work together with all of us. We are members of the same political family,” Wike said.

He acknowledged that the crisis had lingered for months but described the Thursday agreement as conclusive.

“Yes, just like humans, you have a disagreement, and then you also have a time to settle your disagreement.

“And that has been finally concluded today, and we have come to report to Mr. President, that is what we have agreed. So for me, everything is over,” he said.

Calling for calm among political followers, he added, “And I enjoin everybody who believes to work with us, to also work together with everybody, that there’s no more acrimony. There’s nothing to say.”
