Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has urged his supporters to remain calm amid the face-off between him and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

 

 

 

 

Speaking at the New Year banquet at the government house in Port Harcourt on Thursday, January 1, said some persons are out to blackmail him and his government and that these set of people are only barking like dogs because they do not understand governance.

 

 

 

“Don’t be disturbed by what is happening. Caesar in one of his quotes said, the only reason the dog barks is when it doesn’t understand. If you have a dog in your house and it knows you, does it need to bark? So when the dog starts backing maybe it is seeing something it doesn’t understand.

 

We are not barking because we understand. We know where we are going and we have set all the things that are needed to make the journey smooth”.

 

Wike and his supporters have continued to hold rallies in the state where they have taken shots at Fubara and have vowed to work against his re-election should he not go through Wike.
