Port Harcourt, Rivers state - Anyakweh Miracle Amadi, Esq, said the suspended Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has started taking steps to reunite and reconcile with his predecessor the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.

Amadi said once there's complete reconciliation, Fubara will join the FCT Minister to blow whatever political trumpet he blows.

The political analyst stated this during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng on Saturday, May 31, 2025.

He said gollowing the May 29th Speech of Sir Siminilayi Fubara there's a likelihood of reconciliation moves being made.

Amadi cited Fubara’s public statement, where he recognised Wike as his Oga and Wike has through a media chat revealed that Fubara met him for reconciliation talks.

“What this means is that if his Oga the FCT Minister supports President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 election he will definitely do so, I say so because of his recent speech where he stated that President Tinubu saved Rivers State from trouble and that he is grateful to him asking his supporters and Nigerians to appreciate him for saving his administration with the Emergency Rule of 6 months.”

How Fubara will work for Tinubu's re-election

The public affairs analyst said will play some very significant role in Tinubu’s re-election when he is reinstated as Rivers state governor.

“The Governor is the chief security officer and has in his disposal or security details. All the LGA is subject to him hence the reason for the fight over who controls the LGAs

“It will be difficult to undermine the strength of a seating Governor in electioneering.

“I feel Fubara support for Tinubu will be a cutting edge for the President's victory in Rivers State.

“What I'm not sure of is the possibility of Fubara having a return ticket in 2027 because that in some way will spike up some motivation in his support for Tinubu.”

Recall that Fubara confirmed that he will be resuming duties at the government house “very soon”

Fubara made this disclosure weeks after he claimed that his spirit had “left the governor’s office" amid a face-off with Wike.

His remark came on the heels of his secret meeting with President Bola Tinubu in London and a recent meeting with his political godfather, Wike, in Abuja.
