Wike Supports Fubara's Second Term Bid in Rivers State
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, stated that he wanted Sim Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, to contest for a second term. Wike and Fubara had a tense relationship since Fubara took office, but they have recently reconciled.
Fubara, who switched from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), faced defeat in the party's primary election. During his monthly media chat, Wike remarked on his support for Fubara, referencing a previous commitment he made regarding the completion of a ring road project as a condition for endorsing Fubara's second term.
Wike asserted that he loves Fubara and feels disappointed that he will not run for a second term, stating, “Those of us who love you, Fubara, feel so bad if I don’t love him why will I support him?” He concluded by reflecting on the losses incurred due to the situation.
