Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has said that the disagreemnt between him and Nyesom Ezenwo Wike – CON, GSSRS is because of power control in the state.
The governor was discussing the recent surge in violence in the state which resulted in burning down of two local government secretariats.
It’s just the issue of power. I don’t want to discuss it and I don’t want to join issues with that. I want to focus on governance and manage the situation as much as I can. That is what is important to me.”
When asked whether he breached an agreement he signed with Wike, Fubara added he kept all the agreements he reached with his predecessor.
He said, “I don’t think there is any understanding that I have not kept. There is no understanding we have that I have not kept. That is the truth.
“As I said I don’t want to discuss those issues. What I feel is that everyone shelve their sword, even the minister, my oga. There is no need to destroy Rivers. He once ruled the state. Another person is there now. What you need is to give him support. After four or eight years, I will also leave. Another person will take the government.
