The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, said on Friday he would never support the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, politically again.

The minister stated this in a Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.

He berated Fubara for lying against him.

The former allies fell out last year with members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and other stakeholders declaring support for the two men individually.

Wike said: “I will never support Fubara in my political life again. Anybody knows me, it’s not about me. People laboured to put up a structure.

“People laboured, you wouldn’t have even taken the 50th position. I sacrificed to talk to the Ogonis, I sacrificed to talk to several other people who let us go this way.

“You turned it that I am asking for N50 billion, N100 billion. You turned up lies against me, I brought you up, put you here. Today, I turned to be over-demanding.

“There is nobody that has ever said that you will kill your… You rose through somewhere, why do you deny it? It’s unfair and you want me to sit down.”

“We are all humans, ingratitude is bad, it doesn’t matter what anybody can label it.”
