Port Harcourt, Rivers state â Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state alleged that he was ambushed to sign a peace deal with the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wikeâs camp to resolve the political crisis rocking the state.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Fubara and Wike signed an eight-point resolution deal at the presidential villa in Abuja after a meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to end the feud in December 2023.
Fubara said he was âambushedâ with the peace deal by Wikeâs camp and not by the president who initiated the deal.
The governor stated this during a non-denominational thanksgiving service to commemorate the botched attempt to impeach Fubara on October 30, 2023, by lawmakers loyal to Wike.
As reported by TheCable, the governor disclosed that after he withdrew the cases in court, Wikeâs camp failed to withdraw theirs.
Fubara said he signed the deal because of his desire to return peace to the state.
He claimed that Wikeâs camp failed to abide by the conditions stipulated in the peace agreement.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Fubara reacted as the court on Wednesday stopped the federal government from sending allocation to Rivers state.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly filed the suit before the court.
Reacting swiftly, Fubara, during a special thanksgiving service in Rivers state, maintained that the court judgement is the least of his worries.
