Journalists, Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni, have given their
opinions regarding the recent reconciliation between the suspended Rivers State
Governor Similayi Fubara and his estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike.
Wike had settled his disagreement with Fubara and their
reunion was made public during a visit to President Bola Tinubu on Thursday
night after several months of hostilities between both politicians.
The struggle for control of Rivers political resources led
to an intense face-off between Wike and Fubara.
The face-off also led to the factionalization of the Rivers
House of Assembly led by Martins Amaewhule.
In a bid to prevent the crisis from spiraling into a full
blown security challenge, Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in Rivers
State and appointed a retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas as Sole Administrator.
Speaking on the development on Arise News’ the Morning Show,
on Friday, Abati insisted that Fubara did an unconditional surrender to exhibit
his cowardice, while Rufai insisted that the fight between both men was about
the state’s resources.
Rufai said: “In the first place, the fight is about the
state’s resources, now they have been able to arm-twist Fubara.”
On his part, Abati added: “What Fubara did was an
unconditional surrender to exhibit his cowardice. What are the conditions of
that surrender? We’d like to know.”
