Fubara wanted to resign before feud with Wike blew open, Niger Delta leader reveals

More revelations have continued to surface concerning the crisis rocking Rivers State as the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike continue to dig deep into the trenches.

This is as the National Coordinator, South-South Leadership Forum, Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe, on Saturday claimed Governor Fubara offered to resign his position before the crisis in the state escalated to the level it is currently.

Sara-Igbe, a former spokesperson for the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), said the governor opted to resign because apart from the way forces above him prevented him from asserting his independence, he didn’t have enough control over the state’s funds and had difficulty running his government.
