The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has vowed never to impose commissioners on Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, following his reinstatement.
Naija News reports that President Bola Tinubu had suspended Fubara, his deputy and Rivers State House of Assembly members for six months and reinstated them on Wednesday, September 17, 1015.
Despite President Tinubu’s order for Fubara to resume, the Governor has yet to make a public appearance or officially announce his resumption.
However, the lawmaker has directed him to submit commissioner nominees and the state budget.
Reacting to the directives, Wike, during an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, promised to give Fubara a free hand to govern the state and make it better than he met it.
He said, “I cannot go and impose anything on the Governor, why would I impose anything on the Governor? Assuming I go to the Governor and he says no, will the state collapse?
“I will not and I have no candidate, even if the Governor comes to me now and said we have agreed to work together which is natural, I will say look I give you free hand to pick what you want for the state.
“All I want to say is I know what I did and what I have done to keep the state to this level, don’t drop it, move ahead.
“As I speak to you, I left the state where we can compete favourably with Lagos and I can challenge anybody.”
