A source close to governor Fubara has informed that the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike desperately sought to stop governor Fubara from joining the APC by trying to influence the party’s hierarchy including appealing to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu to block Fubara from joining the APC.
He talked to the Rivers State APC chairman when he realized Fubara’s secret moves. Wike told the Rivers state APC chair, Tony Okocha to block Fubara from joining but Okocha told him that he does not have such powers.
So Wike went to Abuja, he spoke to the national chairman and the national secretary of the APC who also told him that they would seek the consent of the president on the matter.
So instead of waiting for the chairman or the secretary to meet the president, Wike went to the presidency by himself. He spoke to Femi Gbajabiamila, the president’s chief of staff. Gbajabiamila told Wike that the president has appealed to the parties to respect the terms of their reconciliation which they agreed to a few months ago.
He was frustrated in Abuja and here. When he couldn’t meet the president directly, he started calling the president on the phone. The president told him same thing Gbajabiamila had told him. Fubara has respected the peace deal but Wike wants the governor to become a complete puppet. Even Adams Oshiomhole does respects Monday Okpebholo but Wike does not have any respect for his Excellency Fubara.
He was heartbroken when he saw Fubara with Mr. President in Aso Rock. The president could not see Wike but met with Fubara”, the source narrated.
