I will never support Fubara in my political life again – Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed never to support Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, in his political life again

Wike made the vow on Friday, while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He accused the governor of lying against him, saying he (Wike) asked him for N20 billion and N100 billion, respectively.

When asked if he will support Fubara in 2027, Wike said: “I will never support Fubara in my political life again. No, I won’t do that. That’s why people should know me, I am not a man who deals with left hand. I will never do that, and everybody knows me.

“It’s not about me. People laboured to put up a structure. He wouldn’t have even taken the 5th position. People laboured. I sacrificed to talk to several people. He turned it that I am asking for ₦20 billion, ₦100 billion.

He turned up lies against me. I brought him up, put him there, pushed him there. Today, Wike is over demanding.”

The FCT Minister continued: “The governor took an advantage of the presidential intervention and to insult everybody. I’m an appointee of Mr President and people should understand this thing first of all.

“I never had any bargain before I supported Mr President. People should know that clearly. I believe in his capacity, and I believe in equity, fairness and justice. I never hid my intention of what I was going to do.

“When Mr President called, for Christ sake, he’s the president of the country, there are things I shouldn’t accept. But he’s the president and our father by his age. He appointed me, why should I say no?

“What the governor did was to take advantage of that time period. The president said, ‘re-submit your budget and he refused.’ And what he did was to tell people to go to court. I laughed.

“Why would I support a man who didn’t obey the rule of law. Why will I support impunity?”
