Journalists, Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni, have shared their thoughts on the recent reconciliation between the suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Recall that Wike and Fubara have openly declared that they had settled their rift after visiting President Bola Tinubu on Thursday night.
“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,” Wike said.
Naija News reports that the duo have been having a face-off for several months.
To prevent the crisis from spiralling into a full-blown security challenge, Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State and appointed a retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas as Sole Administrator.
Speaking on the development on Arise News’ the Morning Show, on Friday, Abati opined that Fubara bowing to pressure shows his cowardice.
At the same time, Rufai insisted that the fight between the two men was about the state’s resources.
Rufai said: “In the first place, the fight is about the state’s resources, now they have been able to arm-twist Fubara.”
On his part, Abati added: “What Fubara did was an unconditional surrender to exhibit his cowardice. What are the conditions of that surrender? We’d like to know.”
