Rivers government knocks APC chairman
Speaking in an SMS, the Rivers state's commissioner for information and communication, Warisenibo Joe Johnson, said that the APC chairman was no longer with the reality of the state.
His statement reads in part:
“Governor Sim Fubara is the best thing that happened to the state and majority of Rivers people are appreciative of his ability to rewrite the state's political history.
“The noisy way he is used to is no longer the way to go. We are rebuilding the entire state, and the revival fire is sweeping through the 23 LGAs.”
Recall that Rivers state has been in political turmoil since the emergence of the feud between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Rivers: Wike brags, sends message to Fubara
Legit.ng earlier reported that the former governor of Rivers state and current minister of the FCT, Nyesom, has sent a veiled message to his successor, Fubara.
Wike, at a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, bragged that he and members of his camp would be undefeatable in the 2027 election because of the alliance between the PDP and APC in the state.
Recall that Wike and Fubara enjoined a political godfather and godson relationship, but the duo fell apart barely six months after the latter became the governor.
