WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has described as “useless”, the letter written to the Rivers State House of Assembly by Governor Siminalayi Fubara seeking an audience with the lawmakers over the implementation of the verdict of the Supreme Court on the political affairs of the state. Wike, the immediate-past governor of the oil-rich South-South state, made this known on Wednesday during a chat with journalists in Abuja. “You have had a frosty relationship with an arm of government. If you are a good politician, will you go and write a letter? Is it by writing a letter signed by the SSG? What an insult! Is it how it is done? If you are a politician you know what to do. “You want to play to the gallery which is rubbish. All these letters are useless, you are not sincere, you are playing to the gallery,” he said. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) powerbroker said Speaker Martins Amaewhule and other lawmakers in the Rivers Assembly are not Fubara’s boys and should be accorded some respect. Amaewhule and over 20 lawmakers in the House are loyal to Wike.
Wike said instead of inviting members of the House through a public letter, Fubara should have called Amaewhule and his team via the phone and agreed on a date and time for a meeting.
