Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has expressed gratitude to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for providing him with the opportunity to compete for governor, saying he would not be able to hold the office without his backing.
Fubara made these remarks on Friday while receiving the New Telegraph Man of the Year Award.
He claimed that Wike’s discovery of him was what gave him his notoriety and shaped him into the person he is today.
Recall that the duo have been involved in a long standing political rift that led to the governors suspensions and impeaching attempt and required the intervention of president Tinubu on two different occasion.
peaking at the award ceremony, Fubara said, “I do not care how you interpret it or misinterpret it. I also dedicate this award to somebody who also discovered me not minding the situation, the Honorable Minister of the FCT, my oga, Nyesom Wike.
“Without him, I wouldn’t be standing here as governor. He discovered me and it’s a discovery that gave me this loudness. Thank you for everything.
