A video of the Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, Samuel Nwanosike raining insults on the Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara, has made the rounds on social media.
Recall that Fubara and his predecessor who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, fell out in 2023 over a battle of supremacy in the state. Nwanosike who is loyal to Wike, alleged that Fubara had not achieved anything as governor of the state since he took over the mantle of leadership from Wike on May 29, 2023.
While addressing his supporters at Omerelu Community, Nwanosike described Governor Fubara as being foolish and naive.
“Any day the likes of Chijioke sent by Fubara insults Wike, I’ll insult Fubara, so today, Fubara is a foolish Governor, he’s not a ‘mumu’ Governor but a foolish Governor because since he took office on May 29th, he has done nothing for Rivers people.”
Nwanosike further maintained that the allegation that Wike wanted to pocket Rivers State is far from the truth. He said;
‘’Fubara is very naive and doesn’t know what governance is all about. If he knows what governance is all about, by now, he would have been visiting Rivers State by the local government.
“Go and look at Igirita roundabout by Igirita market by Eleka Road; deathtrap, can’t move. Kidnapping everywhere in Rivers State and you say you’re a Governor”.
He went on to accuse Governor Fubara of sponsoring abductions in Abuja so Wike could be removed as FCT Minister.
‘’Fubara should tell us what projects has he done other than carrying our money and paying bribes to insult Wike. He is paying people to go and tell Abuja that Wike is paying politics in Rivers state and that they are doing kidnapping in Abuja. It means that Fubara is part of those supporting the kidnapping in Abuja because he wants Nyesom Wike to leave office”
