The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, expressed his belief that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, will resolve their differences.
The rift between Governor Fubara and Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, escalated recently when five pro-Wike commissioners resigned from Fubara’s cabinet.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday, May 15, Kukah remarked that Nigerians often show more concern than necessary in such situations.
“We ordinary people cry more than the bereaved. The important thing is politicians will fix their problems,” he said.
Highlighting his deep connection with Rivers State, Kukah expressed optimism that the politicians involved would find a resolution.
“Rivers State is a place that is very dear to me because I have been associated with them for a very long period of time. But look, when politicians fight, don’t get carried away because they have their capacity to fix their quarrel. And I hope and pray that Rivers State will sooner rather than later reposition because it is not an insignificant part of Nigeria,” Kukah concluded.
