Former governor of Rivers State and minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has described his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, as an ingrate over his alleged attempt to dismantle the political structure he left behind in the State.
While speaking about the political face-off in Rivers State during a media chat on Friday, Wike accused Fubara of trying to foist a political crisis on himself.
His words, “Let me tell you, I don’t like ingrates. I can’t stand it. What is happening now (in Rivers) is what former Governor Peter Odili said in his book: ‘Give a man power and money, then you will know the person.’ If you haven’t given a man power and money then you don’t know the person.
“He may be your friend, he may be your son, sister or mother or father. I don’t want to go into that,” the minister stressed.
He accused Fubara of attempting to destroy the structure which produced him as governor just within three months of his emergence as governor.
“You know what is painful? All these allegations, I smile. Who and who sat with him. In all your doings be grateful in your life no matter the circumstance.
Nobody who is a gentleman and a politician will support this kind of thing.
