‘He Showed His True Colour after We Won Election for Him’ – Wike Blasts Fubara

Former Rivers State governor and current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has once again regretted assisting Siminalayi Fubara in winning the governorship of the oil-rich state.
During the weekend, Wike told a group of supporters in Port Harcourt that the governor had acted very dishonestly and had tricked him into working for his election as governor.
Governor Fubara, Wike’s successor, and Wike have been at loggerheads for some months now, and a settlement to their conflict looks far off.
Ranting at the occasion, Wike said: “You (Fubara) said State Assembly people should not be independent, but you want to be independent. Continue to be independent. Continue to save the democracy of Nigeria. If they like, let them do as they’re doing; if they get to any court they have in the state, let them continue. Let them continue.
“We’ll never be intimidated by that. So let nobody be afraid. Every day, they say they’re doing thanksgiving. They were lucky they didn’t show this early. When we’ve finished winning for them, from polling units to tribunal, from tribunal to court of appeal, they now came saying we want to remove them at Supreme Court.
“Can you imagine? That’s how they collect money from them. They appointed somebody as a judicial consultant. Shame, shame, shame.”
