In the wake of the lingering political tussle in Rivers State, a close associate of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Samuel Nwanosike, has thrown a jab at Governor Sim Fubara, whom he referred to as “mumu.”
Nwanosike, who is the Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, said the governor lacked the capacity to manage the power handed over to him.
Speaking to his followers in a viral video, Nwanosike lamented the ethnic politics in Rivers State following the faceoff between Wike and Fubara.
The Chairman claimed that Wike has been instrumental in getting Ijaw people federal appointments.
He said: ”They want to pay good for evil. That lie would not stand. Let it be put on record, under Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, more Ijaw sons and daughters have been given greater political appointments in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
”Nyesom Wike has been instrumental to all those Ijaw sons and daughters having those wonderful political appointments. And I am happy our leader, the Gburugburu 1, Eze Ndigbo, came out here and made it clear that Nyesom Wike, as an Ikwerre man, has done the unthinkable that no man can do.
”He told Ikwerre people, ‘Fear not. I know where I am leading you. I will never mislead you.’ Allow them; we all belong to the same Rivers state; let them have a bite of the cake, too, as a people. He gave them the power, not because he was afraid of them. He gave them the power for equity, fairness and justice.
”But if you give mumu man wey no know something power, he go carry am play, hin go carry am play, no be so?”
