Wike expressed his frustration with Fubara, claiming that he was betrayed and misunderstood by the governor.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, stating that he will never support him in his political life again. This dramatic turn of events was revealed during a recent interview on Channels Television.
Wike expressed his frustration with Fubara, claiming that he was betrayed and misunderstood by the governor. He alleged that Fubara had turned against him, spreading lies about him and his demands for financial support. Wike recalled the sacrifices he made during his tenure as governor, working tirelessly to build a strong political structure in the state.
“I sacrificed to talk to the Ogonis; I sacrificed to talk to several other people who let us go this way,” Wike emphasized. He claimed that his efforts were met with ingratitude and betrayal, with Fubara allegedly turning against him and demanding payment for his supposed services.
Wike denied that his rift with Fubara was causing a setback for the development of Rivers State, insisting that he was not interfering with governance. He emphasized that he had no desire to take leadership positions, and that he was willing to step back and allow others to take the reins.
In a rare display of candor, the FCT minister acknowledged that politics is a game of give-and-take, where leaders must work together to achieve common goals. However, he emphasized that loyalty and gratitude are essential components of any political relationship.
The exact nature of the dispute between Wike and Fubara remains unclear, but it is evident that their relationship has deteriorated significantly. The consequences of this rift are likely to be felt in the coming months, as the political landscape of Rivers State continues to evolve.
