Political activist and former spokesman for the 2023 Obi/Datti Presidential campaign, Dele Farotimi, has accused Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike of fighting over “how to share loot.”
In a video clip that went viral on Friday, Farotimi asserted that the conflict between the two politicians is rooted in selfish interests. He cautioned Nigerians against siding with either Fubara or Wike, warning that “when they are done fighting, they are coming for you.”
Farotimi remarked, “My enemy’s enemy is my enemy, not my friend. That Sim is Wike’s enemy doesn’t make him my friend. Fubara is not different from Wike. The fight was just to determine how to share the loot. They are not fighting over anything but rather than to control your commonwealth.”
He continued, “The entirety of the fight is about how to mortgage your future and how to sell your children and children’s children into slavery. It is about the control of the common purse. They have the same people; they were doing it together. You can’t be picking sides with armed robbers who are quarrelling on how to divide the spoils of your home.”
The political scene in Rivers State has recently been marked by a deepening crisis of supremacy between Fubara and Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
