Chief Nyesom Wike, the minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Saturday said he toiled so hard to make Sim Fubara the governor of Rivers State.
Wike, while speaking at a banquet organized by the Rivers State Ijaw Peoples Congress to celebrate him.
Fubara and Wike have been throwing tantrums at each other since the former assumed the position of governor of Rivers State, and an intervention by the president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu could not solve the issue.
“Who has Fubara made? All the things you see are people who are envious of our growth. They couldn’t do what we are doing today.
“These are people who we have defeated politically several times. If the opportunity comes again, we will defeat them again.
“I have made an Ijaw man governor of Rivers State. God used us. All of us here had sleepless nights. So, who loves Ijaw more? Is it people who come out on television who can not even make their Ijaw brother governor?
“If they had been that powerful since the old Rivers State, would Ijaw have ever become governor? Where are they?” Nyesom Wike said.
