EKO HOT BLOG reports that Wike made the allegation on Wednesday during a thank you visit to the people of Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State, where he claimed that the governor failed to honour key aspects of the peace deal.

The agreement followed a closed door meeting convened by President Tinubu at the State House in Abuja in June 2025. The meeting involved Wike and Fubara and was aimed at ending the prolonged power struggle that plunged Rivers State into a political crisis.

The crisis had led to the declaration of a state of emergency and the suspension of the governor and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Speaking at the event, Wike said Governor Fubara walked away from commitments freely made before the President.

“After agreeing on something, you renege. And you think you are a smart politician? You are clever by half,” Wike said.

The former Rivers governor warned that he would soon disclose the full details of the agreement reached at the presidential meeting.

“Very soon, we will let Rivers people know what we agreed before Mr President. This agreement was not done anywhere; before Mr President. If you can renege on what we agreed before, Mr President, then who are we?” he added.

The latest remarks signal a fresh escalation in the Rivers political crisis, despite earlier efforts by the presidency to restore stability and political order in the state.
