“Be loyal to Rivers people”: PDP chieftain to Fubara

Speaking on the development, Rilwan Olanrewaju, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, told TheTalk.NG in an exclusive interview that Rivers people don’t joke with their governor, which was why the odd favoured Fubara.

The PDP chieftain maintained that former governor Wike enjoyed similar privilege when he had an issue with his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi and urged Governor Fubara to be more loyal to the people than “one man”.

Olanrewaju maintained that Wike’s loyalty was inconsistent and could not be trusted. He said:

“The odds favour the governor than the Abuja emperor (Wike). The reality is that the Rivers people don’t joke with their governor, and they will continue to choose their governor over anyone.

“Wike also benefited from the same practice. He did the same to former Governor Ameachi.

“I can only advise Governor Fubara to be brave and pledge his loyalty to the good people of Rivers state rather than one very unstable man who doesn’t have a history of consistent loyalty with anyone and even people who helped him to power. The ball is in Governor Fubara’s court.”
