On his quarrel with his successor as Rivers State governor, Siminilayi Fubara, Wike said he still regarded the suspended governor as his political son.
“That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my boy. He is my son. Why will I fight with him?” he said.
“I’m only fighting against people who want to steal what they did not work for.
“When you don’t defeat them, they will think you… Defeat them to the final stage.
“Now, they are ashamed because they are being defeated. They are the ones pushing Fubara.”
