Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State Governor has been warned to prepare for a tough battle ahead, following his face-off with his predecessor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
The warning came from the Spiritual Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, who said that Fubara’s second-term ambition will be “tough” and that he will face similar challenges to those faced by former Lagos State Governor Akinwummi Ambode.
Ayodele urged Fubara to seek God’s help, as only he can change Wike’s mind and ensure that Fubara is not impeached. He also warned the governor to be careful of moles in his camp who are working to remove him from office.
According to Ayodele, “He will still face impeachment, but I see him surviving it. The house will continue to be troubled. They will make him uncomfortable and make his first term miserable, but he will survive it if he turns to God for help.”
“There is no amount of what he does; it is only God that can fight for him. There will be so many moles in his camp. It’s unfortunate that this is happening at a time when Fubara is willing to work.
“They won’t appreciate his efforts and they will want to mess him up. Those who are against his governorship will also add to it. The governor must be careful, put his security together and be very prayerful,” he added.
The rift between Wike and Fubara began less than six months after Fubara took office. Wike’s loyalists in the Rivers House of Assembly moved to impeach Fubara, but the governor vowed to resist such a move.
Last week, Wike accused Fubara of burning down the state House of Assembly and described the governor as an ingrate.
