Fubara vowed never to cede power to Wike and those willing to push him out of office.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has been mocked by Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State following the power tussle that caused crisis in the state.

According to Fubara, he will never cede power to Wike and those willing to push him out of office.

Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads over control of Rivers State resources and political structure.

To stop the crisis from spreading further, President Bola Tinubu had mandated Wike and Fubara to sign a peace pact.

However, Fubara vowed never to relinquish his office because he would continue to ensure development in the state.

The governor spoke during the crossover service at St. Paul’s Archdeaconry Parish in Opobo Town on 2024 New Year’s Eve in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.

According to Fubara: “I want to urge everyone of us here, don’t be frightened. What they want is this red biro; it is still with me.

“They have failed. You are the winner; we are the winner because we are still signing with the red biro. And, so long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers State.

“I wasn’t the governor when I stood for you; I will continue standing with you.”
