Former Acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Robinson Ewor, says Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has already surrendered to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, since the emergency rule in the state.
Ewor made this assertion on Thursday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
He was reacting to Fubara’s backing of the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in the state ahead of next year’s general elections.
DAILY POST recalls that Fubara on Wednesday declared his support for the APC candidate, Kingsley Chinda.
Reacting, Ewor said, “Everyone knows from the emergency rule that Fubara had already handed over the state to the FCT Minister (Wike).
“It is no news that he said it yesterday, and it will not make any news because, as far as I know, he has already given up since the emergency rule last year.
“So the position Fubara made known to the Rivers people or indeed Nigerians yesterday, was not the true reflection of what has happened over this period.
“During the declaration of state of emergency, Fubara went on negotiation with the minister’s team. During that negotiation, Fubara handed over the leadership of the 23 local governments of the state to the FCT minister.
“But when Fubara finished that negotiation, what we, the followers, the supporters expected from him was to come back home, gather his supporters to tell them that look, this is the status quo as at now. This is the position of things as at today. But he never did this but kept pretending.”
