Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has said he will soon disclose the details of the peace agreement reached between him and Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, before President Bola Tinubu.
He made the disclosure on Wednesday during a thank-you visit to Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Recall that in June, President Bola Tinubu stroke a peace deal between Wike and Fubara in order to resolve the crisis rocking the state politically.
The minister accused Governor Fubara of reneging on the terms of the agreement, adding that the details would soon be made public.
“Very soon, we will let people know what we agreed on before Mr President,” Wike said.
He cautioned the people of Tai against associating with individuals who fail to keep their promises under the guise of politics, stressing that such persons should not be trusted.
Wike, who said the people of Rivers State were battle-ready for the 2027 general elections, warned that money would not determine electoral outcomes in the state, insisting that the will of the people would prevail.
He explained that his visit to Tai was not politically motivated, but aimed at appreciating the people for their support for him and President Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.
“It was a tough battle in 2023. You took a risk, worked with us, and God gave us victory. See what that risk has resulted in—a federal university sited in Tai and many other benefits,” he said.
Earlier, Senator Barry Npigi (APC–Rivers South-East) thanked President Tinubu and Wike for their support to the senatorial district, saying the people had never had it so good.
Npigi assured Wike of the district’s continued loyalty, noting that the people were committed to justice, equity and fairness, as exemplified by the Tinubu administration.
Also speaking, the member representing Tai Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Bernard Nbar, assured Wike of the sustained support of his constituents.
“You can count on the Tai people, because Tai people keep to their words,” Nbar said.
Chairman of Tai Local Government Council, Mbakpone Okpe, thanked Wike for the visit, describing his directive to support President Tinubu in 2023 as a blessing to the people.
Okpe said Tai had benefited from appointments, infrastructure development, empowerment and other dividends of democracy, adding that the people were ready to support Tinubu for a second term.
“For these reasons and more, we are eager to return Mr President for another tenure. We will roll out all our votes for Tinubu and whoever you support,” he said.
