‘Congratulating someone wey want remove you from office’ – Reactions as Fubara wishes Wike happy birthday amid fight

Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the well wishes of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to Nyesom Wike as he celebrates his birthday today.

In a post shared on X, December 13, Fubara hailed Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, as he turns a year older.

Showering him with prayers, Fubara wrote;

“I congratulate my oga, His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, SSRS, Life Bencher, immediate Past Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, on his 56th birthday today, December 13, 2023.

Excellency, my dear wife and I, and the good people of Rivers State, join your family and friends to felicitate you on this day.

We sincerely pray that your new age brings you joy and good health.

Once again, happy birthday and hearty congratulations.”

Fubara message to his predecessor comes as a shock to many following the ongoing battle between the Governor and the immediate past Governor due to the political crisis in the State.

Less than 24 hours before Fubara wished Wike a happy birthday, the State House of Assembly was been demolished.

Reacting to the message shared by Fubara, netizens took to his comment section to share their thoughts.
