Port Harcourt, Rivers state – Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele has said the feud between the Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the federal capital territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike, may not end soon as may be expected by some.

According to Ayodele, this is because it will be hard for Wike to forgive the current Rivers governor.

“Fubara’s problem has just started” – Ayodele

The cleric said he foresees more frustrations ahead for Governor Fubara.

He said in a video posted on his known X (formerly Twitter) page on Sunday, November 26:

“The governor of Rivers state and Wike. The Rivers state governor should be ready for a serious battle. His predecessor will frustrate him, he will not forgive him, he will deny so many things, and he will use his party against him.

“So the governor has just started his problem. It is a very serious crisis that he will face – honestly. And there is nothing the governor would do that will be appreciative.”
