Wike Warns Rivers Governor Fubara: No Second Chance For Poor Leadership
Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has warned Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara that there will be no second chance for ineffective leadership in the state.
Wike made the remarks on Friday during a “thank you visit” to Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, emphasizing that a governor who cannot maintain productive relationships with local government chairmen, state assembly members, and other key stakeholders is incapable of governing effectively.
“We must make decisions. I heard people say those who worked for Atiku are back, yet they couldn’t even deliver 10 per cent. What political advantage is that? Money cannot fix the problems the governor has created. If you fail the first time, there will be no second chance. There cannot be two captains on one ship,” Wike said.
He further stressed, “Anyone who cannot relate with Local Government Chairmen, state assembly members, National Assembly members, and other stakeholders cannot provide good leadership.”
Responding to Fubara’s recent New Year statement, Wike issued a pointed warning about correcting past mistakes.
“Somebody said a dog is barking. This dog barked even when Rivers people didn’t know who the person was, and that same dog made the person governor when others ran away. Now the dog is barking again, and he’s not afraid. I wish him good luck. We have decided to support Asiwaju Tinubu. There’s no discussion about that. But we will not repeat the mistakes of the past; we will correct them,” Wike added.
