Governor Siminalayi Fubara has taken another shot at his erstwhile benefactor, Nyesom Wike’s camp, just days after claiming that his implementation of the presidential peace accord they signed should not be interpreted as weakness.
Fubara, who spoke at the launch of an automobile spare parts market in Port Harcourt on Thursday, April 4, described the alleged list of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee members for the State circulating on social media as false.
He also promised to keep up the tension in his estranged patron, Nyesom Wike’s camp.
The Rivers state Governor said; “I know that a lot of you saw something flying in the social media, dailies. Let me brief you, we had a meeting, and we agreed that, not just in Rivers State, but in all the States affected, the Executive Councils (of PDP) should be extended for three months.

“This extension is not meant to bring in new names. The extension also did not say that you are working without the authority of the Governor. So, for those lists that you saw and those ones altered, I can assure you that they are not going to stand.
“For record purposes, so that you will understand, we also agreed that there is going to be a NEC meeting on the 18th of this month (April) that should ratify that decision.
“So, what you are seeing is the handiwork of desperate people who like media publicity. In fact, empty drums make the loudest noise. So, don’t bother about anything. Nothing is happening.
“You can see how restless they have been since I made just one statement, yesterday. We will continue to make them restless. They won’t know where we are coming from. We will also continue to hit them hard the way we hit them, yesterday. So, those of you who were worried when you saw those lists that were flying, go and rest, nothing is happening.”
A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
