Port Harcourt , Rivers –
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state has been tipped as the most favoured in his clash with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Barely six months after getting into office, this fall apart between Governor Fubara and his godfather, the immediate past governor of the state and now minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The development became intense when Rivers state house of assembly made move to impeach Governor Fubara, the lawmakers were stopped and President Bola Tinubu later intervene to dounce the tension in the state.
Speaking on the development, Rilwan Olanrewaju, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, told Legit.ng in an exclusive interview that Rivers people don’t joke with their governor, which was why the odd favoured Fubara.
The PDP chieftain maintained that former governor Wike enjoyed similar privileges when he had an issue with his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, and urged Governor Fubara to be more loyal to the people than “one man.”
Olanrewaju maintained that Wike’s loyalty was inconsistent and could not be trusted. He said:
“The odds favour the governor than the Abuja emperor (Wike). The reality is that the Rivers people don’t joke with their governor, and they will continue to choose their governor over anyone.
“Wike also benefited from the same practice. He did the same to former Governor Ameachi.
“I can only advise Governor Fubara to be brave and pledge his loyalty to the good people of Rivers state rather than one very unstable man who doesn’t have a history of consistent loyalty with anyone and even people who helped him to power. The ball is in Governor Fubara’s court.”
Legit.ng earlier reported that the Rivers state’s Channels TV reporter, Joshua Rogers, had been kidnapped by some unknown gunmen in Port Harcourt, the capital.
The Channels TV reporter was said to have been taken away to an unknown place by the gunmen on Thursday night.
Rogers was said to be close to his residence at Rumuosi in Port Harcourt, the state capital, when the gunmen attacked and kidnapped him.READ FULL ARTICLE>>>>
