The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has accused his successor, Siminalayi Fubara of sponsoring the Action Peoples Party (APP) in the just-ended local government election in the state.
Naija News had reported that Governor Fubara on Monday sworn in local government chairpersons in Rivers State.
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State also attended the event.
APP won 22 of the 23 chairmanship positions in the election.
In the lead-up to the poll, Fubara who is a member of the PDP said he is the “greatest loser” since his party was not on the ballot.
Wike, however, claimed that Fubara sponsored the APP for the election.
While speaking on Channels Tv, on Tuesday said, “Today, people say ‘Discipline Wike, he did anti-party’. I did not do anti-party; I said we must stand for equity, fairness, and justice.
“Today, what happened? The governor [Fubara] is the one who sponsored the APP. The chairman of the [PDP] governors’ forum was the one who attended the swearing-in.”
