Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has thrown shades at Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike while urging his supporters to remain calm amid fresh political developments in the state.
Speaking on Thursday during the New Year banquet at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara likened critics to dogs that bark when they fail to understand what is going on, a remark widely seen as a veiled jab at Wike.
“The only reason the dog barks is when it doesn’t understand,” he said. “If you have a dog in your house and it knows you, does it need to bark? When the dog barks, maybe it’s seeing something it doesn’t understand. We are not barking because we understand. We know where we are going and we have set all that is needed to make the journey smooth.”
Fubara assured his supporters that everything is in place to secure his second-term bid, signaling confidence despite Wike’s recent comments that leadership mistakes in Rivers State would be corrected in the 2027 election.
Observers say Fubara’s remarks were a calculated shade at Wike, emphasizing his control over the political situation in Rivers State.
