Governor Fubara has vowed to teach Wike and his other foes political lessons in Rivers State.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Governor Fubara through his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie said that he is capable of teaching his opponents a political lesson.
“We are going to teach them a lesson of political arithmetic,” Ehie said in Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state during a thanksgiving service on the governor’s victory at the Supreme Court.
Ehie, who served as Speaker of the State Assembly until his appointment as CoS, added: “What that small boy (Fubara) will do to you, you’ll know that khaki nor be leather.”

He attributed the crisis in the state to what he called struggle for resource control.
He said: “The problem we have in the state is that 11 persons said they would control the resources of Rivers State. These 11 persons now called 20 others to allocate resources to themselves.”
After the church service, the atmosphere shifted to politics, with community leaders, women, youth groups, and loyalists from the 13 political wards dancing in support of Governor Fubara.
State lawmakers backing Governor Fubara, led by their newly elected Speaker Victor Oko-Jumbo, pledged their support for his success.
Highlight of the celebration was the presentation of N200,000 each to 65 small scale business owners, as well as N500,000 to each of the 13 coordinators of the Simplified Movement by the Chief of Staff.
