Barr. Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, once again regretted helping Siminalayi Fubara to become the Governor of the State in the 2023 general elections.

Wike expressed his regret in Port Harcourt over the weekend while addressing crowd of supporters, he said the governor displayed a high level of pretence and deceived him [Wike] to work for him to become the governor.

Wike has been at loggerheads with Governor Fubara for several months now.

Talking 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.

“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.”
