Nyesom Wike: Governor Fubara is a bad child

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has described Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State as “a bad child”.

The former governor said this during a “thank you” visit to Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State on Wednesday.

Wike accused Fubara of cancelling some of the projects he handed over to him.

He said: “Government is continuity.

“I employed over 10,000 Rivers youths but the person we handed over power to cancelled those jobs. 

“A bad child is a bad child. 

“That’s how you know how human beings are. 

“I handed over, see where I stopped. 

“Please make sure you continue with this programme that will make our state one of the most respected in this country.

“Today, we are here to say thank you. 

“You have always stood with us. 

“No matter how tough it looked, you always came through with success. 

“Now that all the forces have come together and are united, it is time to go home and sleep with our eyes closed, knowing that all is well.

“We are not ungrateful people. 

“When people do good for us, we always come back to say thank you. 

“That is why we are here today so that tomorrow you will know that when you support us, we will never forget you.”

Wike said the decision to support Tinubu was a risky one in 2023, but had now paid off.

He added: “In life, you must take risks. 

“In 2023, we did not know how things would turn out, but we made a decision. 

“Today, thank God, it was a good risk and the results are positive.

Wike praised political leaders, party officials and grassroots supporters in the area for their loyalty, noting that gratitude and accountability remained the foundation of enduring political relationships.

He said: “One thing I can assure you is this: when a man makes a mistake and comes back to say, ‘I am sorry, I made a mistake,’ that mistake can be corrected. 

“No propaganda, no shouting and no battle can solve problems. 

“Only accountability and correction can.”
