Daily Trust reports that Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, have been at daggers-drawn over the control of politics and governance in the state.

Their feud has resulted is loss of lives and property including the burning down of the state House of Assembly Complex.
Critical stakeholders including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had made efforts to end the crisis but no positive result has been felt.
The governor said, “There is a reason for this crisis, and that reason is the control of the resources of Rivers State. Rivers State resources belong to you, and we will make sure that the resources are applied judiciously for the betterment of Rivers State.
“What you owe us is just one thing; continue to pray for us. Let us not lose focus because we know the devil is always at war to derail people in governance.
“Continue to pray for us because what is most important is the interest of the people here, and I believe that with your prayers, we will not lose focus and the purpose of governance will be achieved in Rivers State.”
Governor Fubara also donated the sum of N200 million to the church to support its on-going infrastructure development projects.
