The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Elders Forum has apologised to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike “for what Fubara is doing to you”.
They apologised to Wike on Saturday (today) at the Rivers State Ijaw Peoples Congress.
The elders, led by the Executive Director of Finance, NDDC, Boma Iyaye, said the Ijaw people were sorry for the bitter back-and-forth and disregard for the minister by the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

Recall that the state has been in a year-long political crisis since Wike, now the FCT Minister, and Fubara, his successor as governor, fell out.
President Bola Tinubu and other prominent Nigerians have intervened to no avail.
The apology
The elders said: “On behalf of our people, we are apologising to you for what our son is doing to you.
“We are sorry. We are sorry o, because it is not in our nature to pay evil for good. You have done well for us, and we will continue to say, thank you.
“Your excellency, do not because of this bad behaviour of our son, run away from us. Continue to be our brother. Continue to have us in mind.
