Ex-Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Austin Tam-George, has maintained that the government of Governor Siminalayi Fubara is their best bet to get away from the self-aggrandisement of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
It was reported that Tam-George made the statement on Thursday during an interview on ARISE Television’s ‘Prime Time’ programme.
Tam-George said Wike has taken self-aggrandisement to a new level and citizens have objected.
He also slammed Wike’s administration as Governor of Rivers State, noting there was no civil servant promoted in the eight years.
“The administration is our best opportunity to escape from Wike’s self-aggrandizement,” he said.
“The issue of godfathers is not peculiar to Rivers State, as you probably know, but what is peculiar in terms of Rivers State is that we have a godfather who has taken prebendal politics to a whole new stratosphere.
“We’ve got a former governor who has gone to the point of personal aggrandizement that the people have to say no, this can’t be accepted.
We who support Fubara’s administration do so because it is our best shot to get out of the prebendal, self-aggrandizing politics Wike personifies.
“No civil servant was promoted in Rivers State during Wike’s eight-year administration.
“Like I said before, Governor Fubara was wise enough to gravitate towards meeting the needs of the people.
