Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has been compared as a weak politician by Lere Olayinka, a media assistant to Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike. Olayinka cited the governor’s failure to get the support of at least 12 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly after two years.
Lere stated on his official Facebook page on Saturday that the governor should return home and live with his wife if he is incapable of playing politics.
Speaking on the confrontation between the assembly members and the governor, Lere described how the former governor of Ekiti State handled the matter as soon as he took office.
He claims that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) only held one of the 26 seats in the state House of Assembly when Fayose was elected governor in 2014, but the former governor quickly altered the story.
He said that the PDP had seven members in the House of Assembly by the time Fayose “was being sworn in on October 16, 2014, with another two APC lawmakers working with him underground.” How did Fayose persuade six members of the APC House of Assembly to join the PDP?
In Ekiti, a quorum of the House of Assembly must consist of nine members, and Fayose obtained the necessary number.
However, someone in Rivers State is unable to win over 12 of the 32 members of the House of Assembly.
“Instead of seeking eight more, he chose to designate one of the four as his Chief of Staff, bringing the total down to three.
“How rational? Go home and live with your wife if you can’t play politics. Politics is politics.
