Thursday, January 1, 2026 -The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said he will soon make public the details of the peace agreement reached between him and Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, before President Bola Tinubu.
Wike made the disclosure on Wednesday, December 31, during a
“thank-you visit” to Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.
President Tinubu had, in June, brokered a peace deal between
Wike and Fubara in a bid to resolve the prolonged political crisis in the
state.
However, the FCT minister accused Governor Fubara of reneging
on the agreement, stating that the terms of the deal would soon be revealed.
“Very soon, we will let people know what we agreed on before Mr. President,”
Wike said.
He warned the people of Tai against aligning with individuals
who fail to keep their promises under the guise of politics, stressing that
such people should not be trusted.
Wike also declared that Rivers State was politically prepared
for the 2027 general elections, insisting that money would not determine
electoral outcomes in the state and that the will of the people would prevail.
He explained that his visit to Tai was not politically
motivated but was intended to appreciate the people for their support for him
and President Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.
“It was a tough battle in 2023. You took a risk, worked with
us, and God gave us victory. See what that risk has resulted in — a federal
university sited in Tai and many other benefits,” he said.
