The The Obio-Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers
State, Mr Chijioke Ihunwo, during an interview with The Guardian correspondent,
alleged that for as long as the control of state’s resources remains the
undercurrent of the conflict of interest, then reconciliation between
Governor Sim Fubara and his political godfather, Nyesom Wike might not work out
anytime soon.
When he was talking about a recent court judgement,
stopping the Federal Government’s allocation to Rivers State, Chijioke Ihunwo
said that they are not bothered and they cannot allow one man control the state
and the local governments.
He alleged Wike wants to play god in Rivers State, but
warned him to focus on his ministerial duties in Abuja, because Rivers State is
too large to be anyone’s private estate. And that Nigerians are watching, and
the person who is posing a threat to democracy in Nigeria should take caution.
When asked during the interview if there is any hope
for reconciliation with the way the crisis has been going on between the
two, Chijioke Ihunwo claimed they don’t want reconciliation between the
duo.
He said, “The day the court judgement stopping Rivers
allocation was delivered, Fubara was dancing at our October Thanksgiving
service. So, we are not bothered. I’m not interested in any reconciliation now
and let me also say that we are going to discharge our duties accordingly to
ensure that our people get dividends for voting us as council chairmen.”
