BREAKING: Ijaw Elders Begs Wike Over Feud With Fubara
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that a group of Ijaw leaders has apologized to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over what they described as the bad behaviour of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The group, identified as the Elders Forum of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Wike has been good to the Ijaw people of Rivers State.
Speaking against the background of the political rift between Wike and Fubara, the Executive Director Of Finance, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Boma Iyaye, who spoke on behalf of the group, said Ijaw people are sorry for the behaviour of Governor Fubara.
He said nobody from the Ijaw people of Rivers State had ever risen to the position of Governor in the state until Wike made it possible through Fubara.
Iyaye said Wike has done well for them and they would continue to say thank you.
He said, “On behalf of our people, we are apologising to you for what our son is doing to you. We are sorry. We are sorry o because it is not in our nature to pay evil for good. You have done well for us, and we will continue to say, thank you.
“Your excellency, do not because of this bad behaviour of our son, run away from us. Continue to be our brother. Continue to have us in mind.
“We have never set our feet on the number one seat of Rivers State. You made it possible for us to become the governor of Rivers State.”
