Wike disclosed that Fubara visited him alongside two governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to seek peace.

The former Rivers State governor made this known during a media chat with selected journalists in Abuja, on Monday.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Wike and Fubara have been embroiled in a political feud, leading to President Bola Tinubu suspending the incumbent governor for six months after declaring a state of emergency in the state and appointing a Sole Administrator.

However, Wike stated that Fubara must take certain necessary steps to fully restore peace in the state.

“The President had called for peace severally, and I can’t sit down and say no, when the President has called for peace.

“Yes, he came with two governors, unfortunately, they are APC governors, I won’t pursue him. He said he wants peace, and I also want peace.

“This means that there is an open window for you to take the necessary steps if you want peace. This is a self-inflicted injury; he doesn’t need it,” he said.

Wike, while speaking the on PDP in Rivers State, said, “We don’t have a problem with PDP in my state. Government is not the party, but government could work with the party, so there is no problem with PDP in my state.”

While responding to a comment credited to Atedo, Wike noted that, “These are some of the people who caused problems for the governor. When we were making this young man governor, what was Peterside’s contribution? He’s from Opobo LGA.

“How can a man give a blanket insult that people are riff-raffs? Look, whatever position you occupy, your impact on your people is key.”

Also speaking on the Late CEO of Access Holding, late Herbert Wigwe, the minister said he once called him, saying, “Look, you are in Lagos, and every day you fly down here. What have you done for Rivers State? At the level you are, what can you say you have contributed to the development of the state?

“He looked at me and said he would return in two weeks’ time. He came back and said he had thought about it. He told me he was going to set up a world-class university.”
