The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has labelled the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, “a bad child”.
Naijaonpoint reports that Wike, during the ‘Renewed Hope Family thank you visit’ to Ahoada East Local Government Area, on Wednesday at Ahoada main Town, accused Fubara of cancelling an employment process undertaken by his administration, which engaged 10,000 youths in the state.
Wike claimed that his administration had employed 10,000 youths into different sectors of the state’s economy, but Fubara sacked the beneficiaries.
The Minister also blasted Fubara for taking credit for the construction of the Ahoada-Omoku and Emohua-Kalabari Road, stressing that he had made 70 per cent payment on the road before handing over to Fubara’s administration.
He said, “When I decided to dualise this Ahoada road, people thought it was impossible. But by the grace of God, today, Ahoada East, Ahoada Town, is coming back to be the city it is supposed to be. When I was a narcissist, I finished phase one of this dualisation.
“Then I flagged off phase two, which would end up in Omoku. The job was given the same day as the one of Emohua to the Kalabari area.
“I gave it to Julius Berger, and we signed an agreement for Julius Berger to collect N4 billion every month from our IGR. The total amount of that road, and the one from Emohua to the Kalabari area, was about N80 something billion. So I said, if they collect four billion every month, that would give them 48 billion. That in two years time, they would have completed.”
