Wike vs Fubara: Guru Maharaj Mentions ‘Real Enemy’ of Peace amid Rivers Emergency Rule

• Satguru Maharaj Ji, the founder of One Love Family, has declared support for President Tinubu's emergency rule in Rivers state
• He described Tinubu's intervention in the Rivers crisis between Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara as timely
• On Thursday, the founder of One Love Family explained why Wike and the suspended governor of Rivers state should reconcile, while emphasising the real enemy of peace

Legit.ng journalist Esther Odili has over two years of experience covering political parties and movements.

The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his recent intervention in the political clash between Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the suspended Rivers governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers state on March 18, suspending Governor Fubara, his deputy, and the state House of Assembly, and appointed Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd) as sole administrator.

Legit.ng understands that Wike and Fubara are at loggerheads over the control of the oil-rich Rivers state.

However, Maharaj Ji, in a statement he signed on Thursday, May 8, urged the duo to sheath their swords in the best interest of the people of the state in particular and Nigeria in general.

As reported by The Punch, he stressed further that the feud between Wike and Fubara was uncalled for, hence the need to work together for the progress of the state.

Guru Maharaj mentions real enemy of peace

“The Wike vs Fubara conflict, like others of its kind and of the past, will ultimately end and will leave the abjectly poor masses of Nigeria struggling and gleaning in their protracted penury as usual.

“Therefore, President Tinubu’s intervention against the highly emotional clash in the state is certainly a perfect antidote.”

As reported by The Punch, he also disclosed that the real enemy of the state and Nigeria is neither Wike nor Fubara, and it is not Tinubu or any of the indigenous Nigerians in his cabinet.

“Instead of fighting and hating themselves, Wike and Fubara should commit themselves against sustaining rifts or disagreements in the state for the real enemy of peace and progress in Nigeria, to exploit to the benefit of their ultra-evil agenda.

“I, therefore, call on Wike and Fubara to reconcile sooner than later in the best interest of the people of the state and of the greater population of indigenous Nigerians spread across other parts of Nigeria,” he advised.

Did Fubara visit Wike, beg for reconciliation?

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, reportedly visited Nyesom Wike at his Abuja residence, seeking reconciliation weeks after his suspension.

Fubara was accompanied to Wike's residence by Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state and Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun.

A close source and Wike's aide, Lere Olayinka, confirmed the meeting and shared further details amid the emergency rule in Rivers.
