A former staunch defender of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, Chijioke Ihunwo, has explained why he is now working with the Rainbow Coalition aligned with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Ihunwo insisted he had not betrayed Fubara, saying he was only following the governor’s own instruction to embrace peace in the state.
The former caretaker chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area disclosed this in an interview on TVC programme, Beyond the Headlines on Thursday, months after twice appearing on the same programme to accuse Wike’s camp of trying to destabilise Rivers State.
“You are aware that my principal is the Governor of Rivers State, and he has said there is peace in Rivers State and that we need to move on as a state. If we truly support him, we should join him in the Rainbow Coalition,” Ihunwo said.
He added that his loyalty remained with Fubara regardless of the political realignment.
