You’re not 001 – Wike rubbishes claims of Fubara being APC leader in Rivers

 The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom
Wike, has mocked Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State for declaring himself the
“001” of the state.

 

Stressing that Fubara is not the 001 of the state, Wike
downplayed claims that the governor is the leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Rivers State.

 

Fubara had made the declaration after defecting from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC. During his registration with the APC
in Rivers State, he was assigned 001 on his membership.

 

However, speaking during his end-of-the-year media parley in
Port Harcourt, Wike said: “He [Fubara] decamped to APC with who? What is 001?
Let me tell you, there’s nothing like 001 in the state.

 

“You register in your ward and local government, so if you
are 001, it’s in your ward.

 

“There’s nothing like 001. There’s nothing like I have
registered in the state as 001. Everybody registered in their own ward. You
could be the first person to register, but that’s not your position.”

 

On Fubara being the leader of the party in Rivers State,
Wike said: “I don’t know about that because if he says so, who is the leader of
APC in Lagos State?

 

“So there are some exceptions to the rule, so let’s not go
into other things.

 

“See, leadership is not because I’m a governor. Leadership
is not because I’m a minister. You must have something that makes you a
leader.”
