Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has hit back at his estranged political protégé, Siminalayi Fubara, over his “dog barking” remark.
Earlier, Tori News reported that Governor Fubara, at the New Year banquet held on Thursday said, “if you have a dog in your house and it knows you, does it need to bark?”
The governor was apparently reacting to the renewed hostility between him and the Minister.
But reacting, while addressing the people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) on Friday, said the barking dog made Fubara governor.
He said, “This dog that’s barking now barked, even when Rivers people didn’t know who the person was and the dog that barked made the person to be governor when others ran away and he’s not afraid that the same dog now is barking. I wish him goodluck.
“We have decided to for Asiwaju Tinubu. There’s no discussion about that, but there’s one we must take a decision. We won’t make the mistake we made last time. We would correct the mistake.
“I heard him say those who worked with Atiku are back. They couldn’t give Atiku 10%. So, what is the political advantage. I won’t call their names, but you all know them”.
