My Only Sin Before Fubara, Wike Confesses Wike, who spoke on Saturday during a Thanksgiving/Civic Reception in Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area, condemned Governor Siminalayi Fubara for allegedly mishandling the ongoing political skirmish in Rivers State.
Some Ijaw stakeholders hosted the conjunctive under the aegis of New Associates Kalabari in honour of the former Rivers governor.
The Round Table discloses that Wike implicated Fubara of ignoring his implorations, announcing that the governor had chosen to align with people who are “natural ingrates.”
“I informed the governor that all these things you are seeing are not good for you to face this upheaval. But they informed him, ‘You’re Governor, you have money.’ I agree. But money is not everything. All these people don’t have anything to offer. See where we are now. How far?” he stated.
The former Rivers governor recalled that during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries, Fubara initially fell off to run, pushing for his then-Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu, to unfold as the party’s candidate.
He revealed his only “sin” was cautioning Fubara to take care of those who helped him become governor.
“What did we do wrong? We revealed all the council chairmen suffered. All the Assembly men suffered. National Assembly members suffered for you to become governor. Therefore, don’t abandon them. That was the only offence I committed,” he stated.
Wike lambasted the governor for withholding the salaries and allowances of Martin Amaewhule-led 27 lawmakers, declaring that it was an ill-advised move that has now backfired.
“They informed you to seize Assembly members’ salaries and allowances for more than one year. These people have no income to pay their children’s school fees or feed their families, and you were jubilating. People were endorsing you, and you thought nothing would occur. Now, something has happened,” he reported.
Wike further took a swipe at the governor, claiming that most of the ongoing projects in Rivers State, containing the Ring Road, were initiated by his administration.
“Many of the projects you see now were began by me and handed over to him. Let him mention just one that he initiated,” Wike opposed.
He denied the verbal attacks directed at him, saying that insults do not affect him.
“You can abuse me as much as you need. Let me inform you, I have never bothered myself because abuse does not kill anybody. What is important is the result. Who has High Blood Pressure now? Not them? We, we dey sit down dey enjoy. They have high blood pressure,” Wike mocked.
Reaffirming his stance on the legislative impasse, Wike reported that the Rivers House of Assembly must be allowed to function without intimidation.
He superposed, “Let me inform you, I’m not going to stop the Assembly from performing their constitutional duty. The Assembly should be allowed to perform its constitutional duty. People who love peace don’t threaten people.
“The Assembly should do their work. Whatever they deem necessary that is constitutional, they should do. I will not stop anybody from carrying out his or her powers. I will not do that.”
