The ex governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Bayelsa State in the 2023 elections, Udengs Eradiri, has stated, in his opinion that the current sitting governor of the state, Governor Duoye Diri is part of the reason the suspended governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara disrespects FCT minister Nyseom Wike, adding that gov Diri is misleading Fubara.
The former labour party member revealed this in an interview with PUNCH, stating that “As leader of the Ijaws, as it was evident in the last few weeks when the issue of Governor Siminalaye Fubara and Nyesom Wike came on board, you could see that political differences that had nothing to do with the Ijaws, but because the Bayelsa State Governor got involved and, Sim being an Ijaw man, he got involved, and it became an Ijaw issue when ordinarily it was a PDP affair.”
He further criticized Fubara over his actions in the ongoing feud with Wike stating that Fubara was disloyal to his boss, adding that the suspended governor begged for forgiveness because he did not know what else to do.
“If he does not beg Wike, what will he do? Who is Sim without Wike? Look, it is even disloyal on the part of an Ijaw man to bite the finger that fed him. That’s what Sim did nau. In three months, you begin to bite the hand that fed you. Don’t you see where it has led to? The only option is for him to go back and apologise to his leader,” he added.
