The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Elders Forum has waded into the acrimonious relationship between Governor Siminalaye Fubara of Rivers State and his predecessor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The PDP Elders apologized to Wike “for what Fubara is doing to you” on Saturday (today) at the Rivers State Ijaw Peoples Congress.
Led by the Executive Director of Finance, NDDC, Boma Iyaye, the elders said the Ijaw people were sorry for the bitter exchange of insults and disregard for the minister by Governor Fubara.
Since Wike and Fubara fell out, the state has been embroiled in an intense year-long political crisis that has continued to defy resolution even with the intervention of President Bola Tinubu and other prominent Nigerians.
The elders said: “On behalf of our people, we are apologizing to you for what our son is doing to you.
“We are sorry. We are sorry o, because it is not in our nature to pay evil for good. You have done well for us, and we will continue to say, thank you.
“Your excellency, do not because of this bad behaviour of our son, run away from us. Continue to be our brother. Continue to have us in mind.
“We have never set our feet on the number one seat of Rivers State. You made it possible for us to become the governor of Rivers State.”
