A legal practitioner, Festus Ogwuche, has said that President Bola Tinubu will always place the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, at an advantage in the ongoing political tension in Rivers state.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Tuesday, Ogwuche, stated that Governor Siminalayi Fubara should have been more calculative when he was defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said that Fubara lacks understanding of the level of the relationship between president Tinubu and the FCT Minister.
“Wike and Tinubu’s relationship goes beyond a godfather-godson relationship.
“It is deeper into certain undercurrents that we cannot fathom, and the president will always place Wike at an advantage in this crisis,” he said.
