Erstwhile Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has declared that the ongoing conflict between Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, has escalated beyond reconciliation.
The two leaders have been at odds over control of Rivers State’s political structure, resulting in a divided state assembly and multiple legal battles.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Fayose described the situation as “very unfortunate” and emphasized that his earlier advice to Fubara to “avoid Wike’s trouble” was given in good faith. He had offered this counsel shortly after Fubara’s electoral victory.
Reflecting on the deepening conflict, Fayose stated, “The crisis has crossed the rubicon; the matter has gone too far. Even if you want to resolve it, how do you restore the trust? I believe it’s too late for reconciliation.”
