How Fubara, Wike Reached Truce – Lawmaker Present At Abuja Meeting Narrates

Wike Tinubu Fubara

Amidst the ongoing political intricacies in Rivers State that have become a focal point of national discourse, Enemi George, a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), has detailed the reconciliation process between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, during a meeting in Abuja.

The political turbulence in Rivers State resulted from a dispute between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and former Governor Nyesom Wike.

The rift led to a division among lawmakers in the House, with 27 of them defecting from the PDP to the ruling APC, a party in which Wike currently holds a ministerial position.

The conflict escalated to the point where the governor faced an impeachment notice, witnessed the demolition of the Assembly complex, and experienced a wave of resignations by pro-Wike commissioners in Fubara’s cabinet.

However, a potential resolution emerged after a meeting between Tunubu and the warring parties on Monday.

According to George, more than 150 individuals from both political parties, including members of the National Assembly and elders in the state, attended the peace meeting with the President.

He went on to describe how a truce was brokered between the warring parties during the meeting with the President.

“For every item that was considered, the President gave both parties the option of controverting or agreeing. So, each item was deliberated and was agreed on.

“At the end of the deliberations, parties were asked to come up and append their signatures to the document and Mr President said, ‘Do I have your approval to release this to the press?’ and everybody echoed yes.

“And so, everybody signed on the document and then we moved forward. The governor signed and he gave a speech that he was committed to that agreement; Mr Speaker also made a speech and committed to accepting all the agreement,” he said.
