From Abia State comes an executive endorsement for the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara and a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, who is also Governor Fubara’s immediate predecessor in office.
The comments on, and about, both men came from Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti. Otti, on Tuesday, was in Rivers State where he went to Commission a road project constructed by his his Rivers State counterpart as part of events by Fubara to mark his first year in office.
Weighing in on the messy face-off between Fubara and Wike, and Wike’s continuous claims that he made Fubara Governor, Otti debunked the claim, and told Wike that power comes from God and belongs to God.
Otti chided Wike for arrogating to himself the powe of God.
Otti: “Power belongs to God, no human can arrogate to himself the capacity to give power, except you have the capacity to give life. Of course, you can take life, but you cannot give it.
“For me, it’s all about good governance.”
On Fubara’s capacity to move the State forward, Otti assured them of the Governor’s preparedness for good governance.
Otti: “Governor Fubara came prepared, and I don’t believe that any distraction is enough to take his focus away from improving the welfare and interest of the people.
“So, I can assure you, Rivers people, that the dividends of democracy that you are seeing now is still a dress rehearsal. It is early in the morning, and I am sure that in the near future, you will be seeing more.”
