The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed allegations that his political disagreements with the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, were driven by demands for money. Asked specifically whether he had demanded money from Fubara, Wike dismissed the allegation and questioned why he would need to seek financial support from the Rivers governor. He said, “Forget about people who say you were asking him for money. The former governor said his concern was for Fubara to stabilise Rivers State and build on the foundations laid by his administration. We have laid the foundation; he (Fubara) should be able to continue from there; we will give you all the necessary support,” Wike noted.
