Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has declared that his crisis with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, led to his freedom to govern the state.
Fubara made the remark while receiving the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Most Rev Henry Ndukauba, and bishops of the church at the state’s Government House in Port Harcourt.
He recalled Ndukauba’s efforts to end the crisis between him and Wike, despite President Bola Tinubu and other political stakeholders’ efforts to resolve the issue.
Fubara said, “God has a way of doing his things. Maybe if we had got peace, I wouldn’t be enjoying the freedom that I am enjoying today.”
Fubara expressed gratitude to Ndukauba for his efforts, saying, “I start first in a very unusual way to say thank you. This appreciation would have come much earlier.
