I accept Wike defeated us, But Fubara remains Rivers 001 – Ex-Obio/Akpor Chair, Chijioke Ihunwo
Former Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo, has admitted that he and other supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara were defeated by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Ihunwo made the admission on Tuesday while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show program.
When asked who is now the “001 of the state,” the former council chairman maintained that Governor Fubara remains the state’s number one leader.
“Fubara is my direct principal, and he remains the 001 being the governor of the state,” he said.
He described Fubara as his direct principal, adding that the governor had urged his supporters to join the Rainbow Coalition championed by Wike.
According to Ihunwo, the prolonged political crisis in Rivers State has come to an end, noting that political leaders in the state are now united and working towards a common purpose.
