Wike, Fubara need to reveal real cause of Rivers crisis – Gov’s aide, Omotsegunwa

Wike, Fubara need to reveal real cause of Rivers crisis – Gov’s aide, Omotsegunwa

Jerry Omotsegunwa, the Special Assistant to the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara on Electronic Media, has said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and the governor need to clarify the cause of their conflict.

Omotsegunwa said, “The FCT minister has not told us anything that led to the crisis, and the governor too has not provided any clarity.”;

In a statement he issued, Omotsegunwa said Fubara still does not know why Wike turned against him.

The political crisis between Fubara and Wike led to President Bola Tinubu declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025.

Tinubu also suspended Fubara and members of the State House of Assembly.

Commenting on the crisis, the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi said the crisis was over money.

In an interview on DW, Amaechi criticized Tinubu’s decision to impose emergency rule in Rivers, calling it unconstitutional.

However, Omotsegunwa described Amaechi’s claim as a personal opinion because the real cause of the crisis is unknown.

“As it stands right now, I will not dispute Amaechi’s position even though he has the right to his own opinion.

“This crisis has dragged on for almost two years now, and nobody has told us what the actual problem is.

“The other day, when they talked about impeaching the governor, he asked, ‘What is my offence?’ And the FCT minister said the governor tried to destroy his structure and all. These matters put together, we’ve not been able to decipher.

“So, as much as I don’t want to say he has lied, I also say he has the right to his own opinion, and that is his personal opinion,”; Omotsegunwa said.
