Nwanosike said Governor Fubara has not done anything since he took over the affairs of Rivers from Wike. He also called him a “foolish governor.”
He threatened to do the same to the governor should any insult come from Fubara's associate to Wike.
He said:
“Any day the likes of Chijioke sent by Fubara insults Wike, I’ll insult Fubara.”
