Fubara Aide: Wike Has Not Explained Cause of Political Rift

Jerry Omotsegunwa, Special Assistant to the suspended Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has stated that Nyesom Wike, Fubara’s predecessor, has not disclosed the reason for their ongoing political conflict, okay.ng reports.

The political crisis between Fubara and Wike, which began in late 2023, led to President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025, resulting in Fubara’s suspension and the suspension of state assembly members.

Former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi recently suggested the conflict stems from disputes over money sharing. However, Amaechi criticized Tinubu’s emergency rule as unconstitutional.

Omotsegunwa, addressing Amaechi’s claims, told The PUNCH that Wike has not clarified the root of his animosity towards Fubara. He described Amaechi’s statement as a personal opinion, highlighting the nearly two-year duration of the unresolved conflict.

“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,” Omotsegunwa said.

He further explained, “The FCT minister has not told us anything that led to the crisis, and the governor too has not provided any clarity. 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.”

Omotsegunwa acknowledged Amaechi’s right to his opinion but emphasized that the true cause remains unknown until Wike offers a clear explanation. Wike’s media aide declined to comment.
