In a letter issued by the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, the governor invited the Martins Amaewhule-led assembly for a crucial meeting.
Wike described Fubara’s letter to the Rivers assembly as “useless”, stating that the lawmakers are not the governor’s boys.
As reported by Channels Television, he stated this on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, during a chat with journalists in Abuja.
“You have had a frosty relationship with an arm of government. If you are a good politician, will you go and write a letter? Is it by writing a letter signed by the SSG? What an insult! Is it how it is done? If you are a politician, you know what to do.
“You want to play to the gallery which is rubbish. All these letters are useless, you are not sincere, you are playing to the gallery,”
The immediate past Rivers state governor Fubara should have called Amaewhule and his team via the phone and agreed on a date and time for a meeting than the written letter.
