Rivers: Fubara Is My Son - Wike Reveals Those He's Fighting

  • Nyesom Wike, Federal Capital Territory Minister, stated on May 17, 2025, that he is not in battle with Siminalayi Fubara, suspended Rivers State Governor, whom he calls his son.
  • The ongoing unrest in Rivers State since 2023 stems from an intense rivalry, with allegations that certain individuals have been manipulating the governor against Wike for their own personal gain.
  • The dispute coincided with President Bola Tinubu declaring a state of emergency in March 2025 and suspending Fubara for six months amid worsening instability.
  • Donu Kogbara, Rescue Rivers founder, criticized Fubara’s leadership as uninspired and urged him to lead with conviction or resign, describing Fubara’s statement as a “kick in the stomach.”
  • Wike claimed his fight targets individuals exploiting the system rather than Fubara, suggesting the crisis reflects deeper political manipulation needing resolution for Rivers State to heal.
