Wike warns Rivers people from meddling into his fight with Fubara

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has warned Rivers State residents against getting involved in any political conflict without knowing the cause of such a fight.

Recall that members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ijaw Youths Congress, traders and other groups marched the streets of Port Harcourt on Friday in solidarity with Fubara who has been enmeshed in a political crisis with Wike.

The minister made the call on Sunday while addressing a congregation during the thanksgiving ceremony for George Kelly Alabo at the Kings’ Assembly in Port Harcourt.

Alabo is the former Commissioner for Works in the State.

“Don’t get involved in any fight between two politicians without knowing the real cause of the quarrel,” Wike said.

“In any facet of life, there are rules and they must be obeyed. As a pastor, there are rules you must follow, so also as politicians, we must follow rules. While I was governor I followed those rules, and that’s why I was able to succeed.”
