Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike, has said he weeps whenever he remembers what Fubara did and said to him.
Wike revealed in his quiet time he watches videos of what the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara said about him.
Speaking to press in Abuja June 2025, the minister stated that he does not have any crisis with Fubara, also revealing he was never consulted by President Bola Tinubu before imposing the infamous state of emergency.
Wile said: “I don’t know anything about crisis between me and Fubara. I don’t have any crisis with him, I’m not the president who would lift the state of emergency. If Mr. President had called me that time, I wouldn’t have accepted the state of emergency. So he knows. He knows what to lift.”
“So the issue of the government is right or not does not arise. What I said was that his potential emergency was to save the Governor, because the Governor was almost impeached. That was not our own hope. We wanted to act for the people, we had said so several times. But the president is his wisdom. And that’s why I said the government said it. That his people should not be talking too much, that the President says the same thing.”
On Fubara’s speech, WIke said, “I did not say it. He said it. Now the point I’m making, what is the crisis? I have told you several times. I don’t want crisis. But rather, the governor unknown to me, brought himself as a tool to those who couldn’t fight me to fight me. when people talk about resolution, sometimes, when I go back, in my quiet moments, I play the video of the speeches of the governor. What he said, What he did to me, I weep, was it necessary?”
