Abuja – Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed as “useless and insincere” a letter written by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, inviting members of the Martins Amaewhule-led Rivers Assembly for a meeting at the Government House, Port Harcourt.

Wike Criticizes Fubara’s Approach Amid Rivers Political Crisis

The Rivers political crisis continues to deepen as Wike, who played a key role in Fubara’s emergence as governor, criticized the move, arguing that Fubara’s long-standing feud with the lawmakers required a more strategic approach rather than a mere letter signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).

“You have had a frosty relationship with an arm of government. If you are a good politician, will you go and write a letter? Is it by writing a letter signed by the SSG? What an insult! Is it how it is done? If you are a politician, you know what to do,” Wike stated.
