GOVERNOR FUBARA TAKES A SWIPE AT WIKE, SAYS HE WOULDN’T INAUGURATE ROAD IN WIKE’S LG IF HE WERE EVIL

Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, has taken a swipe at his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, saying that if he were evil, he wouldn’t have inaugurated a road in Wike’s local government area.

Fubara made this statement while inaugurating the Rumuodogo-Emohua Road in Emohua Local Government Area, which is Wike’s hometown. The governor’s statement is seen as a direct challenge to Wike’s authority and influence in the state.

The Background

The relationship between Fubara and Wike has been strained, with Fubara accusing Wike of engaging in “rubbish” and threatening the stability of the state. The two leaders have been at odds over the control of the state’s resources and the direction of the state’s governance.

The Road Inauguration

The Rumuodogo-Emohua Road is a significant project that connects several communities in Emohua Local Government Area. The road was inaugurated by Fubara amidst fanfare, with the governor praising the contractors for completing the project on time.

However, Fubara’s statement about not inaugurating the road if he were evil was seen as a veiled attack on Wike. The governor’s words were interpreted as a suggestion that Wike would not have carried out the project if he were still in office.

Reactions

Wike’s camp has not officially responded to Fubara’s statement, but sources close to the former governor say that he is not bothered by the jibe. “Wike is focused on his senatorial duties and is not distracted by Fubara’s antics,” the source said.

On the other hand, Fubara’s supporters have praised the governor for his bold statement. “Fubara is a courageous leader who is not afraid to speak his mind,” said a supporter. “He is committed to developing the state and will not be distracted by Wike’s criticism.”

Conclusion

The rift between Fubara and Wike continues to widen, with the two leaders engaging in a war of words. While Fubara’s statement about not inaugurating the road if he were evil may be seen as a clever political move, it is clear that the relationship between the two leaders will continue to be strained.
