Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, says that he will not be supporting either Governor Siminalayi Fubara or Nyesom Wike in the current political situation in the state.<\/p>\n

Amaechi made this statement during a visit to a leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Hon. Okorinama West at his private residence in Port Harcourt on Friday.<\/p>\n

The former Minister of Transportation attributed Governor Fubara\u2019s popularity to the public backlash against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Wike.<\/p>\n

He also commented on the political dynamics in the state, suggesting that some politicians who were his supporters were switching allegiances due to personal interests.<\/p>\n

Amaechi further encouraged young supporters to take an active role in shaping the state\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI can\u2019t stand and join either Sim or Wike. I will not join Sim, I will not join Wike.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut don\u2019t forget, they are not big without you people, I hope you know that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWhat Sim thinks is popularity today is because he is anti-Wike. That\u2019s his popularity, not that Sim is the best man on earth. It\u2019s because he is anti-Wike and because the state is tired of Wike.\u201d<\/p>\n
