Ex-governor of Rivers State, now minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said in Rivers political equation, Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s political equation was far above the 50th position margin but he chose him to effect a balance zoning arrangement.
He also vowed not to support Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, in his political life again.
Wike stated this during an appearance on Channels Television on Friday.
He said, “I will never support Fubara in my political life again. Anybody knows me, it’s not about me. People laboured to put up a structure.
People laboured; you wouldn’t have even taken the 50th position. I sacrificed to talk to the Ogonis; I sacrificed to talk to several other people who let us go this way.
“You turned it that I am asking for N50 billion, N100 billion. You turned up lies against me; I brought you up and put you here.
“What is Wike demanding? In every politics or political family, you run elections under people, and people work together. We must have to keep our political structure.”
Wike also denied his rift with the governor was causing a setback for the development of Rivers State.
“What is causing the setback?” Wike asked. “I’m not interfering with governance. I don’t want to be there. I had no crisis with anybody in the country as a governor. I survived it. If you don’t want to take leadership position, you don’t want to. That’s the truth about it.”
