Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed not to disclose details of the peace deal with Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Last week, President Bola Tinubu invited Wike, Fubara and aggrieve members of the Rivers House of Assembly loyal to Wike to a peace meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
After that meeting, pictures and videos of Wike and his estranged ally exchanging pleasantries were released.
Shortly after, the politicians were seen together at a function in Rivers.
However, an online platform had reported that Tinubu had agreed to reinstate Fubara as the governor of Rivers with the condition that he would not seek re-election in 2027.
Quoting sources, the online newspaper said one of the key terms of the truce is that while Fubara will be reinstated to complete his four-year tenure but must forgo any plans to seek a second term, Wike would be allowed to nominate all the local government chairpersons across the 23 LGAs of the state.
Fubara also reportedly agreed to pay all outstanding allowances and entitlements owed to the 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike who were suspended from the state assembly.
But during a media chat at his residence in Abuja, on Thursday, Wike said that rather than disclose details of the peace deal, he would allow people to speculate.
“I will allow you to speculate, it’s not my business. All I know is that peace has come,” Wike said.
“If you are not satisfied with that, there is nothing we can do. What is important is that peace has returned, whatever thing anybody says is not my business.”
He stated that some individuals had turned the crisis in Rivers State into a lucrative venture, using it to illegally enrich themselves for selfish purposes.
He alleged that those people were displeased with his reconciliation with Fubara.
