Thursday, February 20, 2025 - Governor Siminilayi Fubara of Rivers State has declared that his crisis with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike led to his freedom to govern the state.
Fubara made the remark while receiving the Primate of the Church of
Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev Henry Ndukauba and bishops of the church
at the state’s Government House in Port Harcourt, the state Capital.
He spoke about the Ndukauba’s efforts to end the crisis between him and
Wike.
Fubara said:
‘’God has a way of doing his things. Maybe if we had got peace, I
wouldn’t be enjoying the freedom that I am enjoying today.
“I start first in a very unusual way to say thank you. This appreciation
would have come much earlier. Many of you here may not understand why I am
thanking him.
“When the crisis started, as a man of God who believes that the two main
parties (Fubara and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike) are people from his
communion, he made several phone calls and booked several appointments but none
of them was granted to him.
‘’I want to thank him for what he did even though it didn’t yield the
required result, but you see God has a way of doing his things.
“Maybe if we had got peace then, I wouldn’t be enjoying the freedom that
I am enjoying today.
‘’So at times, God will be saying let the trouble be there so that there
will be peace. But that is not to say that we encourage trouble.
‘’ Peace remains the best thing, both internally and externally because
it attracts development.”
