The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, on Thursday, commended President Bola Tinubu for his recent intervention in the political clash between the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
PUNCH Online had reported that Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu alongside members of the state House of Assembly were suspended on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, for an initial period of six months over a political turmoil in the state.
Maharaj Ji, in a statement he signed and made available to journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, however, urged the duo to sheath their swords in the best interest of the people of the state in particular and Nigeria in general.
He stressed further that the feud between Wike and Fubara was uncalled for, hence the need to work together for the progress of the state.
“The Wike vs Fubara conflict, like others of its kind and of the past, will ultimately end and will leave the abjectly poor masses of Nigeria struggling and gleaning in their protracted penury as usual.
“However, to the extent that the State of Emergency Constitutional provision invoked on the state by Mr. President has reduced the political heat and tension in that part of Nigeria. Mr President deserved to be praised.
“Godfatherism and self-satisfaction are neither new nor news to the bohemia and cesspool of Nigerian and global politics.
“Therefore, President Tinubu’s intervention against the highly emotional clash in the state is certainly a perfect antidote.”
The founder also disclosed that the real enemy of the state and Nigeria is neither Wike nor Fubara, and it is not Tinubu or any of the indigenous Nigerians in his cabinet.
“Instead of fighting and hating themselves, Wike and Fubara should commit themselves against sustaining rifts or disagreements in the state for the real enemy of peace and progress in Nigeria, to exploit to the benefit of their ultra-evil agenda.
“I, therefore, call on Wike and Fubara to reconcile sooner than later in the best interest of the people of the state and of the greater population of indigenous Nigerians spread across other parts of Nigeria,” he advised.
