Reacting to the governor's comment, the aide to the former vice president said, "Wike, get ready for more shege". Shege is a Nigerian slang used to describe tough times or moments.
Fubara's comment came less than 24 hours after his political ally and factioner speaker of the Rivers state house of assembly resigned as a speaker and lawmaker.
The governor vowed to complete his administration, adding that nothing can cut short his administration and that he will complete his tenure.
