Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara hid his true colours until after the election was won for him.
Wike said this while addressing his supporters over the weekend in Port Harcourt.
He expressed regret for helping Fubara emerge the governor of the state, adding that he was deceived with pretense.
The Minister said: “You (Fubara) said State Assembly people should not be independent, but you want to be independent. We’ll never be intimidated by that. So let nobody be afraid.

“Continue to be independent. Continue to save the democracy of Nigeria. If they like, let them do as they’re doing; if they get to any court they have in the state, let them continue. Let them continue.
“Every day, they say they’re doing thanksgiving. They were lucky they didn’t show this early. When we’ve finished winning for them, from polling units to tribunal, from tribunal to court of appeal, they now came saying we want to remove them at Supreme Court.
“Can you imagine? That’s how they collect money from them. They appointed somebody as a judicial consultant. Shame, shame, shame.”
