Rivers: Fubara Says “My Oga Remains My Oga,” As Wike Storms Port Harcourt

By Ayodele Oni

There seems an end to the crisis between Rivers state Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, now Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT) Nyesome Wike, over the control of the State.

Both met on Thursday in Port harcourt at a rededication ceremony for the state Judiciary 2023-2024 legal year during which Fubara affirmed his unwavering loyalty to Wike.

The Rivers State Governor called for peace in the oil-rich state once more and said that the current political turmoil in the state is history.

Rivers State can, according to Fubara, if the players and those who support them, behave peacefully.

“My oga remains my oga. Whatever that has happened is in the past. I have not sent anybody to malign anybody.”

In addition, the Governor issued a warning to those endorsing him to refrain from disparaging his opponents by using foul language, stating that he had given them no permission to do so.

According to him, in trying to attain development, the devil will always attack, but what is most important is to “identify the devil and push it out.”

It was the first time the two politicians, who were the major characters in the most recent political controversy would cross paths in the State’s public eye.
