Former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose has stated that the ongoing conflict between Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has escalated beyond reconciliation.
The two leaders have been in disagreement over control of Rivers State’s political structure, leading to a divided state assembly and numerous legal disputes.
In an interview on Channels TV, Fayose described the situation as “very unfortunate.”
He reiterated that his earlier advice to Fubara to “steer clear of Wike’s troubles” was offered in good faith, shortly after Fubara’s electoral victory.
Reflecting on the worsening conflict, Fayose remarked, “The crisis has crossed the Rubicon. The matter has gone too far.”
“Even if you want to resolve it, how do you restore the trust? I believe it’s too late for reconciliation.”
