Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has accused some governors of instigating the lingering political crisis in Rivers State.
At a media briefing on Monday, Wike attributed the face-off between him and the suspended Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to the influence of some governors.
The minister, who confirmed that Fubara has commenced a peace move by visiting him with two governors from the All Progressives Congress, APC, mocked Fubara, saying those who pushed him are still enjoying their seats while he is out in the cold.
“Governors came pushing him, where are they now? I think the governors are enjoying their own.
“Fubara is a young man, I warned him saying, look, go this way, go this way and you will not have problems.”
Wike also stated that the lifting of the state of emergency earlier imposed on the state by President Bola Tinubu may not end the crisis.
He said, “Assuming that we don’t settle this problem and the state of emergency is called off, has it ended the problems? No, because the Assembly will still be as firm as they have been.
“So the crisis will still be there, they will not pass your budget.”
