The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has hit back at the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, over his comment about a barking dog.
Naijaonpoint reports that Fubara, while speaking on Thursday during the New Year banquet held at the government house in Port Harcourt, said it is Dogs that don’t understand what is going on in the house that bark.
According to him, he is sure things will work out in his favour, and the journey will be smooth.
The Governor assured his supporters that everything is in place to ensure he wins the election for a second term.
In response, Wike, while addressing the people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) on Friday, said the barking dog made Fubara the Governor when Rivers people did not know him.
He also mocked those backing Fubara, stressing that they have no political advantage.
He said, “This dog that’s barking now barked, even when Rivers people didn’t know who the person was and the dog that barked made the person to be Governor when others ran away and he’s not afraid that the same dog now is barking. I wish him goodluck.
“We have decided to for Asiwaju Tinubu. There’s no discussion about that, but there’s one we must take a decision. We won’t make the mistake we made last time. We would correct the mistake.
“I heard him say those who worked with Atiku are back. They couldn’t give Atiku 10%. So, what is the political advantage. I won’t call their names, but you all know them”.
