TimesNow.com.ng reports that the political feud between Messrs Wike and Fubara had divided the state legislature into two.
Tinubu brokered a peace deal to halt the rift, but the quarrel has still not ended.
Wike is not just locked in a fierce political battle with Fubara, he is also feuding with his party, the PDP, and Atiku.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Mark Jacob, a former national legal adviser of the PDP, cited a reason Wike supported Tinubu in the 2023 general election.
Speaking when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV’s The Morning Show, Jacob said Wike and other individuals he did not name “deliberately worked against the party (PDP)” in the election for “selfish interests”.
