Fubara Was Wrong To Buy Nomination Form In The First Place – Wike

Nyesom Wike and Siminalayi Fubara

FCT minister Nyesom Wike has mocked Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s withdrawal from the 2027 APC governorship race. He recently had his say while speaking with reporters during an inspection tour of major infrastructure projects across Abuja.

Throwing his full weight behind the emergence of House of Representatives member Kingsley Chinda as the party’s candidate, Wike revealed that Fubara agreed to abandon his second-term ambition in exchange for the dropping of impeachment threats against him by the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Nyesom added that Fubara breached political trust by purchasing the nomination forms in the first place.

His words, “In the first place, he ought not to have collected the form because the agreement was reached that the impeachment should be dropped, while he should also not talk about a second tenure.

By collecting the form first, he didn’t show signs of gentlemanship. He didn’t show that sign, and that was not expected. We thought that Mr President had been intervening severally and pleading with the legislature not to continue with impeachment.

A good product markets itself. Everybody knows that Kingsley Chinda is the material. He’s quite experienced. He has worked with the executive and now in the legislature — you can hear his voice when he was a minority leader of the PDP. I’m sure that he must have been approached by the ruling All Progressives Congress to join them and then get the ticket.”

WOW.
