Go Home and Stay With Your Wife’: Aide’s Harsh Rebuke to Rivers State Governor

 

Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Nyesom Wike has likened the Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to a weak politician, citing the governor’s inability to win the support of at least 12 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly after two years.

Lere in a post on his official Facebook page on Saturday said if the governor can’t play politics, he should go home and stay with his wife.

Speaking on the face-off between the governor and the assembly members, Lere narrated how the former governor of Ekiti State manoeuvred such situation immediately he was sworn in.

According to him, when Fayose was elected as governor in 2014, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP only had one out of the 26 seats in the state House of Assembly but the then governor changed the narrative within a short time.

He said that by the time Fayose “was being sworn in on October 16, 2014, PDP had 7 House of Assembly members, with another two APC lawmakers working with him underground. How did Fayose get SIX APC House of Assembly members to decamp to PDP?

“In Ekiti, 9 House of Assembly members are needed to form a quorum to sit, and Fayose got the number required.

“But someone in Rivers State can’t get 12 out of 32 House of Assembly members to his side.

“He had 4, instead of looking for 8 more, he decided to appoint one of the 4 as his Chief of Staff, thereby reducing the number to 3.

“How sensible??? Politics is politics and if you can’t play politics, go home and stay with your wife”.
