The end is now in sight over the long-standing political crisis in Rivers State as the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, says he and the suspended governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, have “agreed to work together”. 

Wike, who spoke after a meeting with Fubara, President Bola Tinubu, and suspended members of the Rivers Assembly, said that though he had disagreements with the governor, the parties have now settled their differences.

“We have all agreed to work together with the governor, and the governor has also agreed to work with all of us,” Wike said after a late-night reconciliation meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

“We are members of the same political family – yes, just like humans, we all have disagreements, and then you also have the time to settle your disagreements, and that has been finally concluded today. We have come to report to Mr President that this is what we have agreed.”

The FCT Minister, who is the immediate past governor of the state,  added, “For me, everything is over and in joy,” saying that “We have all agreed on everything, so we thank Almighty God.”
