Fubara Went to Wike, Begged for Forgiveness

-

By Meshach Osaro.


Weeks after his suspension, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara reportedly paid Nyesom Wike a visit at his home in Abuja in an attempt to mend fences.  Governor Abiodun of Ogun State and Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun State, escorted Fubara to Wike's home.  

In the midst of the crises in Rivers, Wike's aide and close source Lere Olayinka provided additional information and confirmed the meeting.  

According to PremiumTimes, the visit took place just days after Mr. Fubara met with President Bola Tinubu in London to discuss his political rivalry with Wike.  Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) was named the sole administrator of Rivers State when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu proclaimed a state of emergency on March 18, suspending Governor Fubara, his deputy, and the state House of Assembly.

According to sources, Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun state, and Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state escorted Fubara to Wike's home.  The insider claims that on Friday, April 18, 2025, Fubara paid Wike a visit and made a plea for amity between the two men.  

On Friday, April 18, Fubara was taken to the minister's residence.  According to one of the stories, he called Wike "My Oga" and bowed down for him while grasping his legs.  The insider further stated that he remained at Wike's residence till the early hours of Saturday, April 19.

The outcome of the meeting is still unknown because many who know it have been reluctant to talk about it.  Nevertheless, it was reported that Fubara was instructed to collect his followers in Rivers, particularly the elders, and inform them of the "truth" regarding his conflict with Wike.  The encounter was verified by Wike's assistant.  Wike's spokeswoman, Lere Olayinka, confirmed the event to PremiumTimes, saying that although the meeting took place, he was not aware of the contents.

Led by His Royal Majesty, Emere Philip Osaro Obele, Oneh-eh Eleme XI, the Eleme Council of Chiefs visited the home of the former monarch in Agbonchia to dedicate the judgement to the memory of the late king. Members of the council were received by the eldest son of the late monarch, Prince Awalanta Ejire, who warmly ushered them into what used to serve as Royal Court of late King Ejire, but now his final rest-place. The council said the name of King Ejire will be written in gold considering the role he devotedly played to ensure that the Eleme chieftaincy institution was not battered and distorted by usurpers, stating that the selection process of Oneh-eh Eleme is no more to be balkanized and ridiculed by throne buccaneers.     ...
