Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says he is not happy with the Presidential Proclamation of a State of Emergency in Rivers State. Speaking during the Friday media parley, Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers, said he wanted the outright removal of Fubara.
He said: “As a politician, I am not happy with the declaration of Emergency Rule in Rivers state. I wanted the outright removal of the governor. But for the interest of the state, the president did the right thing to prevent anarchy in the state.
“The governor was gone. He was gone, yes… so when people say the president did this, I say they should be praising him. Every morning, they should go to the president and ask, ‘Can we wash your feet for saving us?’”
