In a recent interview on Channels Television’s Hard Copy, George Kobani, a Rivers State security professional, weighed in on the ongoing political friction between former governor Nyesom Wike and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

He hinted that the foundational agreement between Wike and Fubara might not have been comprehensive or clear enough to sustain the political relationship.
When asked whether the initial agreement was a major ground for the current conflict, Kobani was critical. “It didn’t seem so. There are a number of details that appear ambiguous. If I’m very specific, I never saw where these things were written in black and white,” he said. Kobani further noted that Governor Fubara’s recent utterances indicate dissatisfaction, suggesting that both sides might have failed to honor commitments made during the negotiation process.
While Kobani clarified that he is neither a politician nor a legal professional, his observations highlight a potential gap in the negotiation framework that could have contributed to the fallout. “It seems very clear there was some dissatisfaction after that negotiation process,” he concluded.
The rift between Wike and Fubara has drawn national attention, with many analysts speculating that unresolved political agreements and power struggles within the Rivers State government are fueling the dispute. Wike, now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has publicly asserted his influence in shaping the state’s political structure, while Fubara has signaled intentions to assert independence in governance.
