Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister, has said his rift with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State was purely politics.
Wike said it is politics if he
demands N20 billion monthly and is allowed to award all the contracts to
himself.
Addressing journalists in
Abuja, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State wondered where Fubara was
when he was fighting.
The minister vowed to remain
politically relevant and maintain his structure.
According to Wike: “If I Demand
N20 billion every month and even award all the contracts to myself, that’s
politics. Where was he when I was fighting?
“I have to be politically
relevant and I must maintain my political structure. I can’t allow anybody to
cut me out immediately.
“If you like accuse me all you
like, I won’t have a sleepless night because the right thing must be done.”
The rift between Wike and
Fubara led to attempts by some members of the state assembly to impeach the
governor.
The governor, however, resisted
the attempts.
