The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Nyesom Wike has declared that he has no crisis with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.

Wike equally said he was not in support of the State of Emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu in Rivers State..

Addressing journalists in Abuja yesterday, Wike said Fubara allowed himself to be used as a tool by his enemies to fight him.

He said: “I made it clear that this impunity will not stand, so what is happening in PDP is what I call undertakers because I see no reason why you will put yourself under that kind of crisis.

“I don’t have any crisis with him (Fubara). I’m not the President who declared a State of Emergency; if Mr President had called me, I wouldn’t have agreed to the State of Emergency.

“He knows when to lift, he has everything on his table, I don’t know. I have never supported it.

“But what I said was that the declaration of state of emergency was to save the governor because he was almost impeached.

“I don’t have crisis rather the governor, unknown to me, gave himself to be the tool for those who couldn’t fight me to fight me.
