Our reporter/ The rift between FCT minister, Nyesome Wike, and governor Sim Fubara deepened on Friday as the Minister alleged that the State’s House of Assembly building was burnt down by the governor.
There was an arson attack on the hallowed chambers of the state assembly weeks ago and the opposition party described the same as the desecration of the legislature.
Wike, who opened up on the rift between him and Fubara during a media chat on Friday in Abuja, also hinted that Fubara is an ingrate, stating that money and power bring out the true identity of a person.
“Let me tell you, I don’t like ingrates; I can’t stand it. What is happening now is what Odili said in his book ‘give a man power and money, then you will know the person,’ Wike said.
“If you haven’t given a man power and money then you don’t know the person. However, I’m not worried because I’m a politician. I know what other states are suffering because of debt, but go and check if I had liabilities, the records are there.
“I left projects for him to commission so he would showcase during his hundred days, then politics came in. We are just starting; God gave you something; you are now importing crisis.
“God gave this in the platter of gold, the Federal Government is not fighting you, no crisis, but you are the one now trying to create a crisis for yourself; only those who are natural ingrates will support what is happening there. I use the instrumentality of law to fight not thugs, time will come.”
