Wike: ‘Fubara is my boy’, accuses Omehia, Sekibo, Okpara of deceiving Rivers Governor

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has described Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State as “my boy and son”.
Wike, the immediate past governor of the oil-bearing state said he was not fighting Fubara but some political opportunists in the South-South state who are misleading and deceiving the governor who succeeded him on May 29, 2023.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Wike said: “Fubara is my boy, he is my son. How can I fight my own son?
“I am fighting certain political figures trying to exploit the current situation to regain political relevance and benefit from a system they neither built nor supported.
“I am fighting those deceiving him — those who want to reap where they did not sow —people like Celestine Omehia, Abiye Sekibo, and Austin Okpara. I have defeated them before, and I will give them the final defeat.
“The President called me to make peace with him. I can’t disobey the President. He (Fubara) called me, and I asked him how he is and how his family is doing,” Wike said.
