FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is happy to work with him following months of political conflict. Outlets report that Wike frames the current relationship as improved and presents his remarks as clarification of where Fubara’s priorities lie.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both cite Wike as arguing that the rift is linked to “some governors,” rather than any ongoing disagreement between him and Fubara. They also report that Wike states Fubara is now working with President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Legit.ng likewise emphasizes Wike’s disclosure about what matters to Fubara in the aftermath of the dispute, referencing a video statement.
Across the reports, Wike positions himself and Fubara as aligned again and does not attribute the change to a single event, focusing instead on broader political influences and personal working dynamics. Daily Post Nigeria additionally includes Wike’s warning to Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal over remarks calling him “that guy,” though this is separate from the Rivers issue.
