Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom WIke, has issued warning to his successor, Sim Fubara, Rivers State Governor, to be careful with people surrounding him.
Speaking at a grand reception in his honour by the Kalabari people of the state on Saturday, Wike revealed that many political associates of Governor Fubara had once lobbied to be governor of the state, but he refused to let them succeed.
The FCT Minister noted that advisers of Governor Fubara do not mean well for him and only want him to vacate the seat for them.
Wike added that people like Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo are part of the reasons why Rivers State is going through political crisis.

He said: “The problem started when Danagogo, the Secretary to the government, used his elder brother, who is a justice, to use an exparte order to justify that 27 members of the Rivers Assembly have defected. Unnoticed.
“He also used the same order to say that the state governor can present the budget to three or four lawmakers.
“Look at Danagogo, who wanted to be governor. He was so pained that he was not given the ticket; he was the one following the governor, and he (Fubara) did not know. He will lead you (Fubara) to hellfire.
“You (Fubara) surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no’, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’
“They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice. Do you think you will succeed? They will give bad advice, and look at what bad advice is doing to you.
“You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come. They come there and abuse me and you are happy; you don’t know it is you they want to destroy.”
