Rivers: I wanted Fubara to run for second term, we love him — Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he wanted Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State to contest for a second term. Wike and Fubara had endured a frosty relationship since the governor assumed office, but they recently reconciled their differences. Amid the crisis between Wike and Fubara, the governor, who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had lost in the partys primary election. Speaking during his monthly media chat, Wike said: We dont like the truth, I flagged off the ring road and I said that day that if you complete this road, nobody will stop your second term, how do you endorse somebody more than that. Asked if he wanted Fubara to do a second term, Wike said: Thats right, you have to build a system and hes from our political structure. There is nowhere in this world, be it in the Republican or Democrat, you have groups to talk about the party. Every group will have its own leader but that does not make you a godfather. At the end of the fight, I have not lost anything but you have lost because your intentions were to go for a second tenure but you are not going. The Minister maintained that he loves Fubara and feels bad that he wont run for a second term. He added: Those of us who love you, Fubara, feel so bad if I dont love him why will I support him? Thats the point that Im making that of all these things who have lost? The post Rivers: I wanted Fubara to run for second term, we love him Wike appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
