Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said that the ongoing conflict between Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is so serious that it calls for divine intervention.

Speaking on Channels Television, Fayose emphasized that the crisis requires fasting and prayers to resolve.

He urged Governor Fubara to reconcile with Wike, adding that he believes President Bola Tinubu will step in to help the governor regain composure and understand the risks ahead.

Fayose placed much of the blame on Fubara, accusing him of failing to honour the agreements reached during previous Abuja negotiations.

He stated, “Many prayers will be said to save Fubara. Only sincere fasting and prayers can protect him in this situation. My hope is that God will guide his mind. The President will intervene to calm him and remind him of the dangers ahead—sometimes, one only realises the peril when it is too late.”

The disagreement escalated over Fubara’s inability to present the 2026 state budget, a development that has put him at odds with the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The legislature has commenced impeachment proceedings against the governor, alleging unauthorized expenditure of state funds without parliamentary approval.

A majority of Rivers lawmakers are reportedly aligned with Minister Wike, who is actively opposing Fubara’s bid for re-election.

Wike has accused the governor of breaching the peace agreement they signed prior to the lifting of the emergency rule by President Bola Tinubu, which facilitated Fubara’s return to office.
