Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has fired back at his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, following a recent court order halting allocations to the state.
During a Thanksgiving service held on Wednesday, October 30, Fubara made a pointed remark, calling Wike a loser in response to the unfolding legal and political drama.
The court ruling has sparked tensions in Rivers State, with Fubara alleging that the events of that day—including police firing shots at him and a faction of the state House of Assembly attempting to impeach him—were orchestrated as part of a broader conspiracy to undermine democracy and destabilize governance in the state.
Fubara, while addressing the congregation during the Thanksgiving service, expressed gratitude for God’s grace and mercies during these tumultuous times. He reassured the people of Rivers State of his commitment to their welfare and the stability of the state, asserting that such acts of intimidation would not deter his administration from delivering on its promises.
The governor’s comments reflect his ongoing struggle against the influence of Wike, who has remained a significant political figure in the state despite leaving office.
