The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has vowed never to impose commissioners on reinstated Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara.
Wike promised to give Fubara a free hand to govern the state and make it better than he met it.
He made this known while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
President Bola Tinubu had suspended Fubara for six months and reinstated him today. Despite the order, Fubara is yet to make a public appearance or officially announce his resumption.
However, when asked if he would decide Fubara’s commissioners, Wike said: “I cannot go and impose anything on the governor, why would I impose anything on the governor? Assuming I go to the governor and he says no, will the state collapse?
“I will not and I have no candidate, even if the governor comes to me now and said we have agreed to work together which is natural, I will say look I give you free hand to pick what you want for the state.
“All I want to say is I know what I did and what I have done to keep the state to this level, don’t drop it, move ahead.
“As I speak to you, I left the state where we can compete favourably with Lagos and I can challenge anybody.”
