The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused some close associates of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara of poor advice to him and contributing to the prolonged political disagreement in the state.
Wike made the claim on Saturday during a media chat in Port Harcourt where he mentioned former Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, Chijioke Ihunwo, Victor Oko Jumbo and activist Ankio Briggs as people he believes influenced the governor’s decisions during the crisis.
The FCT minister was reported to have said the people played a role in the governor’s actions after the peace agreement was reached through the intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
He alleged that their advice took Fubara away from commitments made during the settlement process.
Wike said the governor was the one that suffered most in the political battle, adding that he feels pity for Fubara because of the challenges he faced all through the dispute.
He said: “I sympathise with Governor Siminalayi Fubara because he is the biggest loser. Edison Ehie, Chijioke Ihunwo, Victor Oko Jumbo and Ankio Briggs deceived Governor Siminalayi Fubara with the advice they gave him.

“The political situation in Rivers State was impacted by the wrong advice given to the governor by the people around him. The agreements reached after President Bola Tinubu’s peace intervention were not adhered to due to the influence of those advising the governor. The crisis that hit Rivers State has hit no one as hard as Governor Fubara.
The fallout between Wike and Fubara, who succeeded him as Rivers governor, led to a huge political crisis in the state.
The disagreement later resulted in the declaration of emergency rule in Rivers State, with Fubara suspended from office for six months.
Though Fubara later defected to the All Progressives Congress, he could not get the party’s ticket to contest for another term.
The governor had recently announced his return to Wike’s political group after the long-running disagreement.
