Port Harcourt, Rivers state – Former commissioner of works in Rivers state, Alabo George-Kelly, said Governor Siminalayi Fubara, would have been âa level 14 officer in the civil serviceâ without the help and assistance of the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
Alabo said he resigned because Fubaraâs administration was spending money without appropriation.
As reported by The Punch, he stated this during an interview with Channels Television.
Alabo said he is loyal to Wike as he couldnât be seen as a betrayer.
Narrating how Wike helped Fubara become the governor of Rivers state, he said:
Speaking on the reason he resigned from Fubaraâs cabinet, he said it was a breach of the procurement law for him to be awarding contracts when there was no budget, TheCable reports.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Wike said backing Governor Fubara was a mistake he would correct at the appropriate time.
The FCT Minister insisted he made mistakes in his judgement of Fubara and asked the people of the LGA and political family to forgive him.
He said at the appropriate time, they would correct the mistake, insisting that he would continue to make his detractors angry so they would keep making mistakes.
