The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has given suspended Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State condition for peace.
Wike said he is open to forgiveness if Fubara apologizes over the political crisis in the state.
Wike and Fubara had been at loggerheads shortly after the latter became governor in 2023.
The crisis between the duo affected the state House of Assembly, a situation that led to factionalization of the legislature in the state.
As the political crisis started degenerating into insecurity challenges, President Bola Tinubu had declared a state of emergency.
Tinubu also suspended Fubara for six months while appointing a sole administrator.
However, addressing a media parley in Abuja, Wike said: “Has anybody approached anybody? I don’t like people who are hypocrites. I have told her to mention an elder in Rivers running around the governor who has taken steps to achieve peace?
“At the end of the day, if we don’t achieve anything, we will still go back to square one, which does not make sense.
“The day Mr President intervened, the assembly people immediately withdrew the impeachment notice. I’m open to forgiveness if he comes sincerely.”
