Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has insisted that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike remains his boss.
Fubara spoke during the rededication service of the 2023/2024 Legal Year of the Rivers State Judiciary, which Wike also attended.
Speaking at the event held at the Saint Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Hospital Road in the state capital, the governor described the recent political crisis in the state as a thing of the past.
According to Fubara, “My oga remains my oga. Whatever that has happened is in the past. I have not sent anybody to malign anybody.”
He said although it has been a trying time for the state, the current phase of political misunderstanding will pass and the promises his administration made to the people will be delivered.
The governor also warned those pledging support for him to stop using abusive words on perceived opponents, saying that he did not authorise them to malign anybody.
According to him, in trying to attain development, the devil will always attack but that is what is most important to “identify the devil and push it out”.
It was the first time the two politicians who were the major characters in the recent political fight would be meeting each other in public in the state.
Recall that Wike and Fubara were recently involved in a face-off over some unfulfilled promises.
Recall that a political crisis ensued when lawmakers of the State attempted to impeach Governor Fubara.
The House of Assembly was torched and as the issue degenerated into chaos, security agents allegedly shot at the governor.
Following interventions, the governor apologized to the minister who is his predecessor
