Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has warned Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara that there will be no second opportunity for leadership, citing the governor’s inability to deliver effective governance
Speaking on Friday during a “thank you visit” to Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Wike emphasized that a leader who cannot maintain strong relationships with local government chairmen, members of the state House of Assembly, and other key stakeholders lacks the capacity to govern.
“We must make decisions. Those who worked for Atiku couldn’t even deliver 10 per cent. What political advantage is that? Money cannot solve the problem the governor has started. Tell the Rivers people what was discussed with the President. If you fail the first time, there will be no second chance. There cannot be two captains on one ship,” Wike said.
He added, “Someone who cannot relate with the Local Government Chairmen, state assembly members, National Assembly members, and other stakeholders cannot provide good leadership.”
Wike also addressed Fubara’s recent New Year remarks, issuing a thinly veiled 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 dog made the person governor when others ran away. He’s not afraid that the same dog is barking now. I wish him good luck. We have decided to support Asiwaju Tinubu. There’s no discussion about that, but there is one thing we must decide: we will not repeat past mistakes; we will correct them,” he stated.
