He claimed that some individuals had transformed the Rivers State situation into a “oil well” from which they were extracting illegal monies for their own self-serving ends. He said that these fifth columnists were no longer pleased that he had made amends with Siminalayi Fubara, the state’s suspended governor.
“Peace has returned to Rivers State,” Wike said firmly.
“I don’t owe anybody any explanation on the terms of the truce” he added.
He described some of the people as opportunists who were profiting from the conflict between him and Fubara and accused them of taking advantage of the Rivers situation for their own ends.
Recall that Wike and Governor Fubara recently called a truce after a meeting with President Tinubu.
