Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has said his predecessor, who is the current Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, remains his Oga.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Governor Fubara said this when both of them met on Thursday at the rededication service of the 2023/2024 Legal Year of the Rivers State Judiciary,
The event held at the Saint Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Hospital Road in Port Harcourt would be the first time Fubara and Wike will meet in the State since the political crisis.
At the start of his speech, the sitting governor jokingly asked the congregants to suspend the recognition of guests in order not to commit another impeachable offence.
“My oga remains my oga. Whatever that has happened is in the past. I have not sent anybody to malign anybody,” Fubara said on the feud with Wike.
He described the political crisis as a thing of the past, adding that although it had been a trying time for the State, the misunderstanding would pass.
He promised his administration would deliver for the people.
Wike arrived towards the end of the church service. He had a handshake with Fubara, his successor, before sitting on the same row with him.
Recall that a political crisis ensued when lawmakers of the State attempted to impeach Governor Fubara.
The House of Assembly was torched and as the issue degenerated into chaos, security agents allegedly shot at the governor.
