Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has declared himself as the winner of the political tussle between himself and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Fubara, while speaking at a Church Crossover Service, said those behind the crisis wanted him out of office and since he is still in charge, he is the winner while those against him have failed.

Addressing the congregation, Fubara said, “I want to urge every one of us here, don’t be frightened. What they want is this red biro, but it is still with me, they have failed.

“You are the winner, we are the winners because we are still signing with the red biro, and so long as we are signing with the red biro, development will continue in Rivers State.

“2024 will witness unprecedented heights in our state, the only thing we are asking from every one of you is your support, prayers, also belief in every decision that we take. We are not going to throw any of you under the bus.”
