Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, says that he
will not be supporting either Governor Siminalayi Fubara or Nyesom Wike in the
current political situation in the state.
Amaechi made this statement during a visit to a leader of
the All Progressive Congress, APC, Hon. Okorinama West at his private residence
in Port Harcourt on Friday.
The former Minister of Transportation attributed Governor
Fubara’s popularity to the public backlash against the Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory, FCT, Wike.
He also commented on the political dynamics in the state,
suggesting that some politicians who were his supporters were switching
allegiances due to personal interests.
Amaechi further encouraged young supporters to take an
active role in shaping the state’s leadership.
He said, “I can’t stand and join either Sim or Wike. I will
not join Sim, I will not join Wike.
“But don’t forget, they are not big without you people, I
hope you know that.”
He added, “What Sim thinks is popularity today is because he
is anti-Wike. That’s his popularity, not that Sim is the best man on earth.
It’s because he is anti-Wike and because the state is tired of Wike.”
