Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s minister of the Federal Capital Territory has described a former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus as the real enemy of the incumbent governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking at the Ahoada East and Ahoada West PDP End of Year Thanksgiving in Rivers State, Wike accused Secondus of rejecting the choice of Fubara as the governor of the state.
In his speech, Wike said Secondus wanted his cousin Tele Ikuru to because the governor of River State rather than Fubara.
He said, “I heard Secondus say the other day in Bori that I awarded the Bori Internal Road as governor.
“I paid 50 per cent and thinking that we have a governor that we all agreed to continue. Secondus was saying that his enemies; who are the enemies of the governor? Secondus that refused him to be governor!” Wike said.
Wike further stated that he kicked out Secondus as PDP National Chairman when he wanted to make his cousin, Tele Ikuru, to be governor.
“Today, he is saying now that we are enemies. He (Seconds) was the one who refused the man (Fubara) to be governor; he wanted his cousin to be governor. He has now become the governor’s friend and we have now become the enemies. To God be the glory,” the FCT minister said.
