Without Wike I won’t be governor – Fubara

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has said he would not be governor without the support of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, thanking him for giving him the platform to run for governor.

Fubara expressed the gratitude on Friday while receiving the New Telegraph Man of the Year Award.

He said it was Wike’s discovery of him that gave him the loudness and made him who he is today.

Recall that the duo have been in a rift.

Speaking at the award ceremony, Fubara said, “I do not care how you interpret it or misinterpret it. I also dedicate this award to somebody who also discovered me not minding the situation, the Honorable Minister of the FCT, my oga, Nyesom Wike.

“Without him, I wouldn’t be standing here as governor. He discovered me and it’s a discovery that gave me this loudness. Thank you for everything.

“I also dedicate this award to the people of Rivers State that have shown support, quietness and maturity that has brought us this far.”
