Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has revealed that President Bola Tinubu called him and Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, privately before the high-stakes meeting on Monday, December 18.
Wike disclosed this recently while addressing a congregation during a thanksgiving ceremony for George Kelly Alabo, the immediate past commissioner for works in Rivers state, at the Kings’ Assembly in Port Harcourt.
“We owe Rivers people the truth” – Wike
The estranged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain stated that Governor Fubara and his camp disobeyed Tinubu’s directive, hence the high-powered stakeholders’ meeting at the presidential villa, Abuja.
He said:
“Some of you don’t even know that the president had invited us privately and said, ‘do this’, and you agreed before Mr President, and you didn’t do it. And president decided to say ‘the larger state come’. We must tell our people the simple truth.“I have done my own part, I’m happy. And I’m doing well in Abuja too.”
