Former Rivers State Governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Governor Siminalayi Fubara must fulfill certain conditions before peace can return to the state.
According to Wike, Fubara must re-present the 2025 budget to the Martin Amaewhule-led State Assembly and resubmit the names of his commissioners for clearance. He insisted that peace cannot be achieved without following due process.
“What is peace? What is important is that the right thing must be done. When the right things are done, there will be peace. But if the right thing is not done, how would you say you want peace? Peace is predicated on doing the right thing,” Wike said.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Wike also revealed how he handpicked Fubara as governor despite opposition from some Ijaw politicians.
He further claimed that the Ijaws are a minority in Rivers State and the Niger Delta, arguing that apart from Bayelsa, they stand little chance of producing governors in other states within the region.
