Wike accused Fubara of taking credit for projects he (Wike) started in Ahoada and Emohua local government areas together with the cancellation of an employment scheme for 10,000 youths which was also initiated by him.

“When I decided to dualise this Ahoada road, people thought it was impossible. But by the grace of God, today, Ahoada East, Ahoada Town, is coming back to be the city it is supposed to be. I finished phase one of this dualisation.

“Then I flagged off phase two, which would end up in Omoku. The job was given the same day as Emohua’s job in the Kalabari area. I gave it to Julius Berger, and we signed an agreement for Julius Berger to collect N4 billion every month from our IGR.

“The total amount of that road, and the one from Emohua to the Kalabari area, was about N80 billion. So, I said, if they collect N4 billion every month, that would give them 48 billion. That in two years’ time, they would have completed.

“Today, I hear people are making noise. They even forgot who laid the foundation. On that road, I gave it to Setraco. I paid about 70 per cent. I remember that day, they gave me 100 plots of land. I said, thank you, I don’t need land there. What is continuity?

“I employed Rivers State youths, 10,000. The person we handed over power to, instead of allowing the 10,000 youths, he cancelled that job. 10,000 youths. A bad child is a bad child.”

Calling Fubara a mistake, Wike said:

“One thing I can assure you is this: when a man makes a mistake and comes back to say, ‘I am sorry, I made a mistake,’ that mistake can be corrected. No propaganda, no shouting and no battle can solve problems. Only accountability and correction can.

“Here, we don’t focus on political parties. What we have is a family, a rainbow coalition. If you don’t belong to this family, forget it. After the president, this family will determine the direction of the state.”
