Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has opened up on the peace agreement between him and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), urging his supporters to accept the reconciliation as a critical step toward restoring peace and progress in the state.

Speaking during a meeting with members of his Simplified Family in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Governor Fubara admitted that the terms of the peace deal were “heavy and bitter,” but insisted they were necessary sacrifices for the future of Rivers State.

• “After the meeting we had before May 29, we’ve had several other meetings. In one of them with President Tinubu, he clearly said, ‘I want you and your oga to settle,’” Fubara revealed.

Acknowledging Wike’s role in his political journey, Fubara said it would be unfair to erase the sacrifices his predecessor made.

• “Yes, we had our differences, but nobody can deny the role my oga played. Nobody can wish away the risks he took. If settling our differences is what it takes to move forward, then that’s the right thing to do.”

Fubara further stressed that true reconciliation can only come when both parties are willing to sit together and agree to peace.

• “At this point, I’ve met with him, and we’ve spoken. He’s human, and I recognise he’s been hurt, just as I’ve had my own share of pain. But if giving him what he wants will bring peace, I’m ready to do that.”

While urging his followers not to feel betrayed or discouraged, Fubara assured them that he remains committed to the Simplified Movement and will not abandon them in the process of achieving unity.

• “This is the time for me to show that I care. Whatever sacrifice is needed to secure total peace, I’m ready to make it — no matter how bitter it feels.”

He also lamented the state of abandoned projects due to the political crisis and emphasized the need for reconciliation to fast-track development across Rivers State.

“This isn’t about me personally; it’s about the future of our state. So many developmental projects have been stalled. We must restore peace if we want real progress.”

Fubara concluded with a metaphor from his local culture, referencing the tilapia fish, known in his community as Atabala.

“The native tilapia doesn’t grow big. The mother tilapia always tells the younger ones, ‘If you want to grow as big as me, you must endure what I endured.’ That’s where we are now — enduring to grow.”
