Rivers Ijaw Congress withdraws support for Fubara, backs Wike
By Trek Africa Newspaper
The Rivers Ijaw People’s Congress (RIPCON) has withdrawn support for Siminilayi Fubara, governor of the state.
Speaking on Saturday during a stakeholders’ meeting in Okrika LGA of Rivers state, George Sekibo, chairman of the group, said the congress now backs Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Sekibo, a former senator, described Fubara as ungrateful, noting that he became governor through Wike’s support.
“Please don’t look at him and think we [Ijaw people] are all ungrateful people. Ijaw people are very grateful people,” Sekibo told Wike, who attended the meeting.
