Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, said on Saturday that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the biggest loser in the political crisis that rocked the state.
Wike further said the governor lost the opportunity to return for a second term in office because he was listening and acting on wrong advice from his supporters, who deceived him and worsened the crisis in the state.
The FCT minister spoke on Saturday during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
He said Fubara’s failure to preside over the last local government election, which produced the current council chairmen in the 23 LGAs, and having no control of the state House of Assembly showed he was not in charge even as governor.
Wike stated, “Impeachment is constitutionally provided but it is used as a political tool. When you are having two people quarreling, at a certain stage, you have to surrender. If you don’t surrender, this is what will happen to you. Now you have to weigh the option. For the interest of peace, let us sheathe our swords.
