Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described his successor, Simi Fubara, whom he anointed and, single handed, installed as an ingrate.
This is the first that Wike has unravelled since the cold war between him and Fubara broke out.
He vowed to deploy the instrumentality of the law to fight Fubara.
Wike lamented that money and power had turned the governor into a changed person.
Wike was quoted to have said: “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.’
“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 left liabilities; the records are there.
“I left projects for him to commission [sic]; 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 on 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.”
