The last has not been heard on the feud between immediate past governor of Rivers state and his successor Siminalayi Fubara.
In what seems like a subtle jibe at Nyesom Wike, governor Fubara reminded the former governor of his Ijaw roots adding that no matter the challenges confronting him he will succeed.
Fubara has said those who exclude his Opobo people from being part of the Ijaw ethnic nationality are not conversant with the history of the Niger Delta region.
Fubara made the statement while dismissing insinuations that he is not of Ijaw ethnic nationality when he met with the Regent and other representatives of Kalabari Se Kobiri at Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday.
He said Ijaw people are bold, courageous and forthright people who, despite being subjected to inhuman treatment, did not succumb to being traded as slaves during the slave trade.
He emphasised that he has one cardinal belief, which is that it is only the will of God that prevails in every circumstance, whether good or bad, winning or failing.
Fubara said: “So, whoever is feeding you with that information should go back to their history classes. You cannot talk about the Ijaw struggle without the Opobo, the Bonny, and the Kalabari. “We had our trade lines at that time and for you to occupy a trade line, it means you are a true Ijaw man. So, for the records, I am a full-blooded, up to my bones, an Ijaw man.”
Earlier the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Wike, referring to the crisis in the state, said money and power reveal the true identity of a person,
On the infamous attempt to impeach Fubara Wike said supposing he was the mastermind of the plot to impeach Governor Fubara, the latter should have called him via phone.
