The Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has said his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, remains his principal.
The governor stated this in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at the rededication service of the 2023/2024 Legal Year of the Rivers State Judiciary.
The event which held at the Saint Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Hospital Road in the state capital had the minister in attendance.
Mr Fubara described the recent political crisis in the state as a thing of the past, calling again for peace in the state.
“My oga remains my oga. Whatever that has happened is in the past. I have not sent anybody to malign anybody,” the governor said.
He said that although it has been a trying time for the state, the current phase of political misunderstanding will pass and the promises his administration made to the people would be delivered.
The governor also warned those pledging support for him to stop using abusive words on perceived opponents, saying that he did not authorise them to malign anybody.
According to him, in trying to attain development, the devil will always attack, but that what is most important is to “identify the devil and push it out”.
