I Weep When I Watch Videos Of What Fubara Said And Did To Me – Wike

“When I go back in my quiet moments, I play the video of speeches of the governor (Fubara), what he said, what he did to me, I weep. Was it necessary? This is somebody who brought you, gave you food, gave you everything, did this to you, and then you became a tool for his enemies to fight him.” – 

— Nyesom Wike

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike, has said he weeps in his quiet time whenever he watches videos of what the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara said about him.

The former Governor of Rivers State, disclosed this during his routine live media parley in Abuja, on Monday.

Wike stated that he does not have any crisis with Fubara, and while responding to a question, if it was time to lift the state of emergency in Rivers, said he was in no position to answer the question since it was President Bola Tinubu that imposed the state of emergency.

He said: “I don’t know anything about crisis between me and Fubara. I don’t have any crisis with him, I’m not the president who would lift the state of emergency. If Mr. President had called me that time, I wouldn’t have accepted the state of emergency. So he knows. He knows what to lift.

“So the issue of the government is right or not does not arise. What I said was that his potential emergency was to save the Governor, because the Governor was almost impeached. That was not our own hope. We wanted to act for the people, we had said so several times. But the president is his wisdom. And that’s why I said the government said it. That his people should not be talking too much, that the President says the same thing.”

On Fubara’s speech, WIke said, “I did not say it. He said it. Now the point I’m making, what is the crisis? I have told you several times. I don’t want crisis. But rather, the governor unknown to me, brought himself as a tool to those who couldn’t fight me to fight me. when people talk about resolution, sometimes, when I go back, in my quiet moments, I play the video of the speeches of the governor. What he said, What he did to me, I weep, was it necessary?”
