Fubara: Wike remains my boss

Rivers State Governor, Similanayi Fubara, has described his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as his boss.

Fubara said this during the rededication service of the 2023/2024 Legal Year of the Rivers State Judiciary in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Thursday, November 9.

It would be recalled that a political crisis ensued as the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly attempted to impeach Fubara.

This led to chaos in the state as security agents allegedly shot at the governor.

Speaking on Thursday, Governor Fubara said: “My oga (boss) remains my oga. Whatever that has happened is in the past.

“I have not sent anybody to malign anybody.”

He described the political crisis as a thing of the past, adding that although it had been a trying time for the state, the misunderstanding would pass.

The governor further promised that his administration would deliver for the people.

Wike, who arrived towards the end of the event, had a handshake with Fubara before sitting on the same row with the governor.
