Fubara Rivers problem not Wike – Ex-PDP Chair, Ewor

Robinson Ewor, former Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Acting Chairman, has insisted that Governor Sim Fubara is the problem of Rivers State and not the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

Ewor claimed that a wrong perception was presented to the people of Rivers State when the war between Wike and Fubara started.

The face-off between Wike and Fubara over who heads the political structure in Rivers State led to the governor’s suspension for six months.

Following interventions from President Bola Tinubu and other relevant stakeholders, the duo resolved their crisis but the governor lost out during the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election.

Yesterday, Fubara announced that the state would embrace the Rainbow Coalition propagated by Wike.

However, speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Ewor said: “Perception is different from reality. What I knew then and what I know now are two different things. Then, the perception was that Wike didn’t allow the governor, Fubara, to function.

“Today, we have come to realize that the problem of the state wasn’t Wike, it was the inability of Sim, the Governor himself, to be open to the people of Rivers.

“When the war started, what was presented to us was that Wike doesn’t allow the governor to do his work, that was what they presented to Rivers people.

“But Today that story has changed, even ourselves we have realized that Wike wasn’t stopping the governor from discharging his duties, so the information we had then and what we have now are two different things.

“The fact before Rivers people then and the facts before we the supporters of Fubara Today are not the same facts.”
