This Barking Dog Made You Governor!” – Wike Blasts Fubara Over Rivers Politics

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has fired back at Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, following the governor’s recent “barking dog” remark.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Fubara, speaking on Thursday at the New Year banquet held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, had said that “dogs that don’t understand what is happening in the house are the ones that bark,” adding that he is confident his path to re-election will be smooth and that everything is in place to secure a second term.

In response, Wike, addressing supporters in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) on Friday, mocked the governor’s statement, asserting that it was the very “barking dog” that helped Fubara become governor when Rivers people barely knew him. He also ridiculed Fubara’s supporters, suggesting they hold no real political advantage.

Wike said, “This dog that’s barking now barked even when Rivers people didn’t know him, and it’s that same dog that made him governor when others ran away. And yet he’s not afraid that the same dog is barking today. I wish him good luck.

“We have already decided to support Asiwaju Tinubu—there’s no debate about that. But one thing is clear: we won’t repeat past mistakes; we will correct them.

“I heard him say those who worked with Atiku are back. They couldn’t even deliver 10% for him. So, what political advantage do they really have? I won’t name names, but you all know them.”
