Wike tells Ijaw groups during grand reception, ‘Fubara is not one of you‘
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claim that Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara is an Ijaw man.
Wike made the claim during a grand reception, organised for him by several Ijaw stakeholders from the Kalabari Kingdom in Rivers State.
He said: “Let nobody deceive you that the governor is Ijaw; he is not.”
Wike, who was received by a massive crowd, added: “All of you are Ijaw; are you benefiting? Politics is interest. We must come up to say people must not behave and treat people, used and dump them and then you say it’s politics. That politics has to stop.”
New Associates, the Ijaw stakeholders who organised the reception for Wike, said the event was arranged at Abalama town as a thanksgiving service and a grand civic reception in honour of the former governor for his love for the Kalabari Kingdom.
