Rivers State Governor Siminialayi Fubara has called on his estranged benefactor and predecessor, Chief Nyesom Wike, whom he referred to as my oga, to allow him govern the state.
Speaking on a televised interview, Fubara said there was no need for anybody to destroy things in the state recalling that when Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, was the Governor, Rivers was the envy of all.
He told the Minister that it was time for governance and not politics noting that he should be allowed to concentrate on governance.
When asked what could have been the bone of contention, Fubara said be would not discuss it but that it bordered on power and control.
He said: “My appeal is that everyone should shield their sword. Even to the Minister, my oga, there is no need to destroy things. He once ruled and the state was the envy of every other state.
