Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday dismissed the possibility of settling the ongoing rift between him and the Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara.
According to Wike during a media parley to mark his one year in office as FCT Minister, he is more focused on delivering President Bola Tinubu’s mandate.
The former Rivers governor added that the rift was caused by his successor after he helped him to gain power.
Wike said, “In good conscience, I fought for Fubara to become governor without any regrets and you now say you don’t want to be part of the family; no problem. Aregbesola was brought by Tinubu but he’s no longer with the president again.

“In all honesty, I can tell you that there is no going back and my people know. What support? Have I come out of the one I did? Some people don’t play politics of integrity, but I do. He’s the one that say ‘dey your dey’ so let me ‘dey my dey.’
“This doesn’t worry me because I’m focused on the mandate Mr President gave me in FCT.”
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads since the governor assumed office.
The face-off between the duo affected the state House of Assembly, leading to factions.
It has been impossible to end the face-off between the duo despite the involvement of President Tinubu and other relevant political stakeholders within and outside the state.
