Fubara Warns Wike, Other Political Opponents It Will Now Be Fire for Fire
Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers state has read a riot act to his political opponents in the ongoing tussle for the control of political structures in the state.
Fubara who is at loggerhead with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike and the State House of Assembly and the state APC, promised to surprise them.
The Governor spoke during a solidarity rally organized by the state branch of the National Union of local government employees in Port Harcourt.
He accused some political actors in the state, of misinterpreting his respect for President Tinubu’s brokered peace agreement for weakness.
Fubara said he was committed to the implementation of the deal, which according to him, was unconstitutional, but a political solution to the political crisis in the state.

He warned that he would return fire for fire in his next line of action against those challenging his authority as the state governor.
In his speech, Clifford Paul, Rivers State chairman of NULGE, told the governor that they were on a ‘Thank-You Rally’ to show appreciation for his love for workers.
Paul stated that Fubara had changed their fortunes and restored hope in them when he directed the payment of N30,000 minimum wage to the workers and lifted the right-year ban on promotion, which has now placed them at par with their counterparts across the country.
On his part, Alex Agwanwor, the Rivers State chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), said workers have resolved to stand with Governor Fubara because he has demonstrated his love, put smiles on their faces and advanced the welfare and growth of the state.
Agwanwor warned that NLC would not hesitate to occupy anywhere used by the Rivers State House of Assembly members led by Martin Amaewhule, should they begin any impeachment proceedings against the governor.
