A Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has expressed disappointment in the sudden withdrawal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara from the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary election.
He lamented that the only “Ijaw man who just became Governor is not returning”.
DAILY POST reports that all aspirants vying for the governorship position under the APC in Rivers State, including Fubara, have stepped down for Kingsley Chinda, a kinsman of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Chinda, who is currently representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, is, according to Ossai, an Ikwere man.
He wondered why the Ijaw is not allowed to spend at least eight years in power.
The Delta governor’s aide wrote: “Chinda is Ikwerre, just like Nyesom Wike (8yrs as governor), Rotimi Amaechi (8yrs as Governor), and Celestine Omehia (5months as Governor).
“Is Ikwerre the only tribe in Rivers? Fubara as an Ijaw man who just became Governor is not returning again.
“And now, Wike is fronting another Ikwerre man, O.K Chinda. Why is Rivers State not operating zoning like other states?”
