Wike Slams Fubara as an Ingrate, Says He Imported Crisis to Rivers State
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed his displeasure with the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, over the political situation in the state.
He accused Fubara of being an ingrate who is trying to create a crisis for himself.
Wike, who spoke at a media parley in Abuja on Friday, said that he did a lot to help Fubara’s political career, but Fubara did not appreciate his efforts.
He said that he left no debt and many projects for Fubara to commission when he handed over to him as the former governor of Rivers State. He said that he also advised Fubara to follow the footsteps of his predecessor, Peter Odili, who wrote a book on leadership.
Wike said that Fubara ignored his advice and started to import crisis to Rivers State. He said that Fubara had no reason to fight with anyone, as he had the support of the federal government and the people of the state. He said that Fubara was only showing his true character after getting power and money.
Wike said that he would not tolerate Fubara’s ingratitude and disrespect. He said that he would not allow Fubara to destroy the political structure that he built in the state.
He said that only those who are natural ingrates would support what Fubara is doing in Rivers State.
“Let me tell you — I don’t like ingrates. I can’t stand it. What is happening now (in Rivers) is what Odili said in his book: ‘Give a man power and money, then you will know the person.’ If you haven’t given a manpower and money, then you don’t know the person.
“However, I’m not worried because I am a politician. I know what other states are suffering because of debt. But go (to Rivers) and check if I had liabilities, the records are there.
“I left projects for him to commission so he would showcase during his hundred days, then politics came in. We are just starting. God gave you something, you are now importing crisis.
“God gave this (power) on a platter of gold, no crisis. The federal government is not fighting you, nobody at home is fighting you. You are the one trying to create a crisis for yourself.
“What kind of system is that? Who does that? Only ingrates that (it) is in their blood that will support what is happening there (in Rivers). Only those who are natural ingrate.”
