Olajumoke Shaqiru Victor, a political analyst, in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, pointed out the recent comment by Wike that he was not having any rift with the embattled Rivers governor, saying Fubara remains his political son.
Wike, who was the immediate past governor of the state and current minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), recently described the embattled Governor Fubara as his political son, despite the rift between the duo.
Wike’s comment reads in part: “That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my boy, he is my son, why will I fight with him? Wike further explained that he was only fighting those who wanted to eat from where they did not work.
He added that if they were not defeated, they would think of him being defeated. Thus, he has to defeat them to the final stage.
He noted that these people are the ones pushing the suspended governor, and now, they are being shamed because “they are being defeated.”
Reacting to the development, Victor maintained that the minister’s comment was a contrary to the political tension in Rivers state, urging the two parties to prioritise the interest of the state.
His statement reads: “Former Governor Nyesom Wike’s insistence that he is not at war with Governor Siminalayi Fubara appears inconsistent with the political tension still gripping Rivers State. The ongoing divisions and power struggles suggest deeper conflicts. It’s time both parties prioritised the interests of the people over personal influence and allowed genuine reconciliation and governance to take centre stage.”
