Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed the only thing that can save Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, Fayose stressed that it is only fasting and prayers can save Fubara.
He advised Fubara to reconcile with his estranged political godfather and predecessor, the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
“Many prayers would be said to save Fubara. So many fasts and prayers would be the only thing that would save Fubara in this one,” Fayose said.
Recall that Fubara and the Rivers State House of Assembly have been at loggerheads over the governor’s inability to present the 2026 budget.
On Thursday, the lawmakers began impeachment proceedings against the governor, accusing him of spending the state’s funds without approval from the parliament.
Fayose, however, blamed Fubara for the crisis, accusing him of not keeping to the agreements reached in Abuja.
He recalled how he was in Port Harcourt during Fubara’s swearing in as governor in 2023, saying Wike never envisaged that Fubara would betray him.
“My prayer is that God will enter his mind. The President will help calm him down, to remind the danger. One will be in his house before he realises (the danger).
“I never knew this incident would happen between Governor Fubara and Governor Wike now. I was seated on the high table the day Fubara was sworn in. I told Wike I want to say one or two things to tell Governor Fubara not to betray you.
“He said, ‘I should not say it, he cannot do it.’ In my own usual way of telling people the truth, I came out and said ‘My brother, lock all the windows, don’t listen to people. This Wike are people that brought you, remain with them, don’t look for Wike’s trouble.’”
