The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has advised the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, to be bold enough to tell President Bola Tinubu what exactly he wants.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministerโs Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, said it is not enough to plead for peace, noting that those who genuinely want peace work and act for it.

In April, Fubara reportedly met with Tinubu in London over the protracted political crisis that culminated in his suspension.
Wike, who is currently in China on official engagements said the governor and his supporters are the same people pleading for peace, but at the same time doing things that are contrary to what they are pleading for.

โHow can you say you want peace and at the same time, you are sponsoring people to insult everyone, including the President and his wife?
โAll those shenanigans wonโt bring peace, and I am sure they know that, because they are not sincere with their up and down pleadings for peace.
โAs for me and those who subscribe to my leadership, we condemn in totality that yesterdayโs show of shame and we apologise to our First Lady for the embarrassing conduct of those few women who do not represent the characters and ideals of the people of Rivers State,โ he said.
On Friday, some Rivers women walked out on Tinubuโs wife at an event in Port Harcourt, while demanding the reinstatement of Fubara.
The event was part of an initiative to support 500 women across the state.
