The Chairman of the Rivers State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Leader Sampson, has claimed that there is no genuine reconciliation between the suspended Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Sampson warned that the political crisis in the oil-rich state may continue or even worsen, following Fubara’s return.

According to the ADC leader, the crisis in Rivers State is politically motivated, with a risk that one individual may dominate decision-making in the state.

When asked about the alleged reconciliation between Fubara and Wike, Sampson said, “From what we have seen, there was no true reconciliation. It’s just one man having his way. Fubara returning as governor, along with the members of the state House of Assembly, may not go well.

“There is a tendency that if one individual continues to insist that his will and whatever he wants is what will happen in Rivers State, more crises are inevitable. Leadership and governance in the state remain highly prone to conflict.

“As I said, the crisis in Rivers State was politically motivated, and what we are likely to experience in the state going forward will still be politically driven.”

Sampson also called on the Sole Administrator of the state, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, to provide a detailed account of Rivers State’s finances during six months of emergency rule.

“For the sake of accountability, Ibas needs to explain everything that happened during his six months in Rivers State,” he said.

“He should tell Nigerians how the people’s money was spent, what projects were executed, the amounts involved, how much came from Rivers State’s internally generated revenue, and how much was received as federal allocations. If he has nothing to hide, he should give a full account.”
