Former Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Austin Tam-George, has said that the administration of Governor Sim Fubara is their best chance to escape FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike’s self-aggrandizement.
Tam-George made this statement on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’.
He said Rivers State has has a godfather who has taken self-aggrandizement to a new extreme.
“Administration is our best chance to escape Wike’s self-aggrandizement.
“The question of possible godfathers is not unique to Rivers State, as you probably know, but what is unique in terms of Rivers State is that we have a godfather who has taken prebendal politics to a completely new stratosphere.
“We have a former governor who has taken personal aggrandizement to the point where the people now have no choice but to say, no, this cannot be accepted.
“Those of us backing Fubara’s administration do so because it is our best chance to escape the prebendal, self-aggrandizing politics that Wike embodies.
“No civil servant was promoted in Rivers State throughout Wike’s eight-year administration.
“As I said before, Governor Fubara was quite wise enough to gravitate towards meeting the needs of the people,” he said.
