'Leave me out of politics' - Gov Fubara reveals 1 difference between him and Wike

Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, had teased his predecessor and minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, when he told the state's people that he was an administrator and not a politician.

Governor Fubara was seen in a video obtained by Legit, telling the state's people that he talked more like an administrator and Wike would be invited when political matters arose.

The governor said: "I talked more like an administrator, not too much like a politician. When we want to do the political one, I will invite my Oga from Abuja to come and do the political one."

Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, is considered one of the strong politicians in Nigeria.

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, Wike was considered one of the strong governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he led four other governors under the aegis of the G5-Governors against the leadership of the party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The five governors led by Wike had called for equity and justice within the leadership structure of the PDP, but Atiku and the then national chairman of the party, Iyorcha Ayu, insisted that the presidential candidate and national chairman must remain in the north, a development the governors argued was against the party.

Wike vowed that another party would win the presidential election in his state and that the PDP would still win the governorship election in Rivers.

In the end, Atiku and the PDP lost the presidential election in the five states controlled by the G5 governors and subsequently lost the election to President Bola Tinubu.
