FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has revealed that Governor Fubara visited him seeking peace, but insists the Rivers crisis is self-inflicted and won’t end without genuine efforts from the governor.
- Fubara’s peace visit came after meeting Tinubu amid a state of emergency in Rivers State.
- Wike said the crisis was avoidable and blamed political influences around Fubara.
- Reconciliation, Wike added, requires visible steps and leadership, not just peace declarations.
The tension in Rivers reflects a broader struggle between loyalty, power, and political identity. For residents, the suspended leadership raises deep concerns about governance, trust, and what peace truly looks like when lives and livelihoods are at stake.
With the state’s governance in limbo, can meaningful dialogue replace political theatre? Who must lead the healing process for Rivers to move forward?
