Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of spreading lies against him.<\/p>\n

Wike, speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Friday, said that claims he was making monetary demands from Fubara were false.<\/p>\n

Wike said the governor has abandoned those who fought to ensure he became Governor of Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Wike, the immediate past governor of the oil-rich state, supported Fubara in succeeding him during the 2023 governorship election.<\/p>\n

However, the two have since fallen out, with accusations and counter-accusations from both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say I\u2019m asking for N20 billion, N100 billion, he spreads lies against me,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought you up, I put you here. Fubara abandoned those who laboured for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
