Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has shifted gears, standing up to his former boss-turned-rival, Nyesom Wike, after enduring months of political attacks.
In the course of last week, Fubara used two occasions to fire shots at the immediate-past governor of the State, now minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the State House of Assembly.
Recall that Fubara recently warned Wike not to mistake his calmness for weakness, signaling a new assertiveness. Despite implementing a peace agreement brokered by President Tinubu, Fubara clarified that it wasn’t a sign of weakness and vowed to surprise those who underestimate him.
The on-going feud escalated when the State House of Assembly threatened to resume impeachment proceedings against him.
Fubara dismissed a circulated list of PDP Caretaker Committee members for the State as fake, accusing Wike’s loyalists of seeking publicity and creating unrest.
He promised to continue unsettling his detractors, demonstrating his resolve amidst the political storm and vowed to continue to make them feel restless.
“You can see how restless they have been since I made just one statement, yesterday. We will continue to make them restless”, he said.
