Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has discussed the political situation in Rivers State in detail.
Speaking on Friday at a press conference in Abuja, Wike claimed Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara was attempting to instigate a political crisis for his own benefit.
The Minister went on to say that although he did a lot of things to support Fubara’s political career, he seemed like an ingrate.

Wike said, “Let me tell you — I don’t like ingrates. I can’t stand it. What is happening now (in Rivers) is what Odili said in his book: ‘Give a man power and money, then you will know the person.’ If you haven’t given a manpower and money, then you don’t know the person.
“However, I’m not worried because I am a politician. I know what other states are suffering because of debt. But go (to Rivers) and check if I had liabilities, the records are there.
“I left projects for him to commission so he would showcase during his hundred days, then politics came in. We are just starting. God gave you something, you are now importing crisis.
“God gave this (power) on a platter of gold, no crisis. The federal government is not fighting you, nobody at home is fighting you. You are the one trying to create a crisis for yourself.

“What kind of system is that? Who does that? Only ingrates that (it) is in their blood that will support what is happening there (in Rivers). Only those who are natural ingrate.”
Rivers’ immediate past governor, Wike, and his successor, Fabura, have been at odds about who controls the state’s political establishment.
