Kogbara called on the embattled governor to take decisive action—either by fiercely contesting for his position or formally resigning to clarify his stance for his supporters.
In her statement, she said, “I never wanted Fubara to be Governor in the first place but he was inflicted on us by his predecessor Wike of whom he has now quarreled. Some of us were gracious enough to say so he is the Governor now. When he was disgraced, we said to Wike and Tinubu do treat us and him like that”.
