Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he will not disclose details of the recent truce brokered between him and suspended Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, insisting that the most important outcome is the restoration of peace in the State.

Wike spoke on Thursday during a monthly media chat with selected journalists in Abuja.

He dismissed calls for transparency on the terms of the agreement, saying he would rather allow room for speculation than reveal the specifics.

“I will allow you to speculate, it is not my business. All I know is that peace has come. If you are not satisfied with that, there is nothing we can do. What is important is that peace has returned, whatever thing anybody says is not my business,” the Minister said.

The FCT minister accused some individuals of exploiting the Rivers political crisis for personal gain, alleging that they had turned the conflict into a money-making venture.

He claimed that such persons were now aggrieved over his reconciliation with Fubara.

“Some people saw the crisis as an opportunity to enrich themselves illegally. Now that peace has returned, they are unhappy because their business has collapsed,” Wike said.

Last month, President Bola Tinubu mediated a truce between Wike, Fubara, and suspended members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, effectively de-escalating tensions in the oil-rich state, which episode currently under State of Emergency.

The political rift between Wike and Fubara, his erstwhile political protégé, had escalated into a full-blown crisis earlier this year, with lawmakers loyal to the FCT minister initiating impeachment proceedings against the governor.

 

In March 2025, Tinubu suspended Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and the factional state assembly members, appointing retired Vice Admiral Ibok-ete Ibas as sole administrator to oversee the state’s affairs pending resolution.

While the details of the peace agreement remained undisclosed, Wike’s latest remarks suggest a deliberate move to downplay lingering controversies and focus on stability.

“Let people say whatever they want; the key thing is that Rivers State is now calm. That’s what matters to me,” Wike declared.
