On Tuesday , Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State assured the public that his fight was not against the Federal Government but against Neysom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The governor made this statement during the commissioning of the Aleto-Ebubu-Eteo road in the Eleme area of the state.
Fubara said: “If we are fighting the Federal Government it’s a different matter, we are talking about the Federal Government that is giving us some support, but there’s a rat in the house that is eating the bag of garri.
“So, you can imagine such a situation but we have now set the Otapiapia to finish the rat.”
It is no news that there’s a rift between Fubara and Wike, which have affected the legislative arm of the state, leading to the emergence of factional Speakers.
The rift has however worsened despite presidential intervention.
Fubara claimed that the state was overburdened by the debt profile of Wike’s administration and he vowed to set up a committee that would probe Wike’s administration.
