Ikenga Ugochinyere, a federal lawmaker recently
commented on the political tension between Rivers State Governor
Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, former Governor Nyesom Wike.
In a live coverage by Symfoni TV,
Ugochinyere said Fubara has shown remarkable humility and tolerance by allowing
Wike significant influence in the state government. He alleged that Fubara
permitted Wike to have control over the entire House of Assembly, select his
(Fubara’s) commissioners and several top state officials, including his chief
of staff and Head of Security. He said despite all these, Wike still wants to
get Fubara removed as governor of the state.
In Ikenga’s words: “A man was so humble to allow you
control the entire house of Assembly and appoint all the 18
commissioners , he was so humble to allow you appoint all the party
structures and all the LGA chairmen. He allowed you appoint his Chief of Staff
(CoS), AG (attorney-general), Head of Security and everything.
“A man was so humble to allow your revenue generating
system in Rivers to continue but suddenly you want to impeach the man. Is that
not greed? What did Fubara did to him that he wants to remove him. Not
everybody can tolerate that kind of imposition and pressure but Fubara allowed
him. But still it was not enough for him”
