Rivers governor speaks on Wike's nomination as Tinubu's minister
In another development, Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers state, congratulated his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, for making the list of ministerial nominees by President Bola Tinubu.
Wike was a two-term governor of Rivers state whose tenure ended on May 29 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and was succeeded by Fubara, who was his preferred candidate.
Political pundits long debated the nomination of Wike to the ministerial list. While some argued that he should be compensated for working for the success of President Tinubu in Rivers State during the 2023 election, others said he traded his party for a ministerial position.
