“Wike Accuses Fubara of Reneging on Tinubu-Brokered Agreement: A Rift in Rivers Politics”

A power struggle between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has taken a new turn, with Wike accusing Fubara of reneging on an agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu to resolve the political crisis in Rivers State. The agreement, reached in a closed-door meeting at the State House in Abuja, aimed to end the prolonged power struggle that plunged Rivers into a political crisis.

Wike made the allegation during a thank-you visit to the people of Tai Local Government Area, where he expressed his disappointment with Fubara’s actions. According to Wike, Fubara has failed to honor parts of the agreement, despite the President’s efforts to broker peace. Wike vowed to make public the details of the deal, stating, “Very soon, we will let Rivers people know what we agreed before Mr. President.”

The rift between Wike and Fubara’s actions has significant implications for Rivers politics. Wike, a powerful figure in the state, has warned that Fubara’s supporters will face consequences if he fails to honor the agreement. The minister’s statement has sparked concerns about the potential for further conflict and instability in the state.

The power struggle between Wike and Fubara has been ongoing, with Wike accusing Fubara of disregarding due process and ignoring the principles of separation of powers. The conflict has led to a state of emergency and the suspension of the governor and members of the State House of Assembly.

The situation remains tense, with Wike vowing to take action against Fubara’s perceived defiance. The fate of Rivers State hangs in the balance, as the conflict between Wike and Fubara continues to unfold.
