“I will never support Fubara in my political life again,” Wike said. “Anybody knows me, it’s not about me. People laboured to put up a structure.
“People laboured, you wouldn’t have even taken the 50th position. I sacrificed to talk to the Ogonis, I sacrificed to talk to several other people that let us go this way.
“You turned it that I am asking for N50 billion, N100 billion. You turned up lies against me, I brought you up, put you here. Today, I turned to be over demanding.”

During the show, the former Rivers governor stressed the importance of preserving and maintaining political structures.
Wike accused his successor of failing to acknowledge that he had benefited from a political platform, calling Fubara’s actions unfair.
“In every political family, you run election under people and people believe that we are all together. We must have to keep our political structure.
“There is nobody that has ever said that you will kill your… Your rose through somewhere, why do you deny it? It’s unfair and you want me to sit down,” he stated.
When questioned about his demands from Fubara, the FCT Minister stated that he had simply advised the governor not to abandon the people who had worked tirelessly to help him achieve his position.
He added, “We are all humans, ingratitude is bad, it doesn’t matter what anybody can label it.”
