Former Obio/Akpor Local Government Chairman, Chijioke Ihunwo, has described Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the political “001” of Rivers State while declaring FCT Minister Nyesom Wike their leader.
Ihunwo made the remarks during an appearance on Arise News on Tuesday. He also said the political crisis in Rivers State was over and that political leaders were moving forward.
He credited Governor Fubara with giving him the opportunity to serve as Obio/Akpor Council Chairman. However, he maintained that he remained committed to serving both Fubara and Wike.
Ihunwo also described the Rainbow Coalition as the dominant political platform in Rivers State. He insisted that no political party existed outside the coalition.
He said: “We are together and moving forward. I will remain an errand boy to my principals. I’m not up to 40 years, anything can happen in politics. Let me continue serving my two masters as an errand boy.”
His comments come amid the political realignments in Rivers State, where the relationship between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, has remained a major issue in the state’s political landscape. Ihunwo’s remarks indicate his intention to maintain political ties with both leaders despite the divisions that have shaped Rivers politics.
