Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly (HoA), Martins Amaewhule, and minster of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, are finally together in their first public outing since the reconciliation at the State House yesterday.
On Saturday, Wike, alongside the governor Fubara, and Rivers HoA Speaker Amaewhule were at the burial of the FCT Minister’s Uncle in Rumuepirikom, Rivers State.
Recall, on Friday 27 June, after a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Wike said both camps had reached a final agreement to sheath swords and work together.
“We have all agreed to work together with the governor, and the governor also agreed to work together with all of us. We are members of the same political family.
“Yes, just like humans, you have a disagreement, and then you also have a time to settle your disagreement.
“And that has been finally concluded today, and we have come to report to Mr. President, that is what we have agreed. So for me, everything is over,” Wike said.
Meanwhile, Fubara also pledged to preserve the fragile unity achieved during the presidential peace meeting.
“We’ll do everything within our power to make sure that we sustain it this time around,” Fubara said.
As at time of filing this report, Fubara still remains the only democratically elected governor of a federating unit (Rivers State) under suspension by President Bola Tinubu.
