Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has been cautioned against holding any form of meeting with former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, amid ongoing political tensions in the state. The warning was issued by political analyst and legal practitioner, Barrister Darlington Agomuo, during an interview on Voice of the People TV, where he responded to speculation about possible reconciliation efforts between the two political figures.
Agomuo described any potential meeting between Fubara and Wike as unnecessary and counterproductive. He argued that the governor, having assumed office with a clear mandate from the people, should focus on governance rather than revisiting failed reconciliatory attempts that have historically deepened divisions within Rivers State politics.
“Fubara should not go for any meeting with Wike for whatever reason. Don’t try it. That rubbish is over,” he emphasized during the broadcast.
The political analyst maintained that the era of political godfatherism in Rivers State has ended, noting that the governor was elected by the electorate and not appointed by any individual. Agomuo warned that engaging with Wike could be interpreted as a sign of weakness and potentially undermine the authority of Fubara’s administration at a critical period in the state’s political landscape.
He urged the governor to consolidate his political base, strengthen institutional governance, and concentrate on delivering tangible dividends of democracy to the people. According to Agomuo, the priority of the current administration should be effective leadership and performance in office rather than seeking political appeasement.
