Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has advised Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to make amends with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, instead of engaging in political confrontation.
Speaking during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Tuesday, Fayose said, “My own position is always clear. Fubara, my governor, all of them, got their strength from other people.”
He made the remarks while addressing the ongoing power struggle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, which continues to drive political instability in Rivers State.
Fayose emphasised the importance of humility and reconciliation in governance, citing examples from other states.
“Look at Kogi. Why are we not having issues in Kogi? Why is Governor Kogi being very humble? Whatever you say about Yahaya Bello, he doesn’t want to hear it. Whatever anybody comes to say to him about Yahaya, he remembered the day Yahaya Bello gave him that platform,” he said.
Recalling advice he gave to his successor in Ekiti, Fayose said, “I told my governor, whatever governor Fayemi, what I’ve done to you, or whatever way you feel, don’t worry about that. Remember the day he gave you that platform. Don’t say ill of him.
