Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, has pleaded with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, not to abandon him even if he crosses the political divide.
Fubara made the remarks on Sunday at a Thanksgiving reception for Wike at his private residence on Ada-George Road.
“While we are seeing signs that it’s like you want to go over to the other side with everybody wishing that, please don’t be too far from me because I know that the sharks, the tigers are really around looking for what to hurt.
“So, being around would continue to guide and put my head straight for the purpose of this state,” Fubara said.
His appeal comes amid rumours that Wike could dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike chose to support APC’s Bola Tinubu, who was eventually announced winner of the 2023 presidential election instead of his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
