FCT minister Wike accuses Rivers governor Fubara of ingratitude, vows rainbow coalition will secure every elective position statewide.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has scolded Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, describing him as “a bad child” who lacks gratitude.
Wike declared that his rainbow coalition will produce all elective positions in the state come 2027 elections.
The rainbow coalition he is referring to is APC and PDP working together to produce winners in an election. He used that model in the last local government, where his loyalists in the APC won 20 local governments of the 23 in the state, while PDP was allowed to win just three local governments.
He recently boasted in one of his ‘Thank You Tour’ of local governments that he controls both state chairmen of APC and the PDP in Rivers State.
Wike chided his estranged successor yesterday at a “thank you” visit to the Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State as part of his ongoing visits across the 23 local government areas of the state to appreciate supporters who stood by him and President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general election.
The minister also vowed not to repeat any mistake in his desire to continue to support Tinubu.
