The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike on Monday, said Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State was used against him.

Wike said his enemies used Fubara as a willing tool to fight him.

The minister, who was governor of Rivers State for eight years, was instrumental to Fubara’s emergence as governor.

Upon assumption of office, a fight broke out between Wike and Fubara over the control of the political structure in the state.

The crisis led to the declaration of a state of emergency and Fubara’s suspension for six months.

Addressing his monthly press briefing in Abuja, Wike decried Fubara’s tactics, noting that he was yet to meet other stakeholders in the state.

According to the minister, he hasn’t met the suspended governor after their meeting in Abuja.

He said: “This was somebody who gave you food and everything, then you became a tool for his enemies to fight him.

“We are all human, when people say there should be peace – yes, nobody said there should be no peace – how do you feel when you know what you passed through by sending your son to school, to make him be a human being – all of a sudden, your son game with people with guns to shoot you. Is this something that will just go like that from your mind?

“You made your son, you gave your son good education, provided food, you made sure he didn’t lack, ready to sacrifice everything you had for him, yet in the night he brought armed robbers – your time is up – and somehow God helped you, you didn’t die.

“People brought him to beg you, he is your son – I agree.”
