VIDEO: Drama As Gov Fubara, Akpabio Clash At Herbert Wigwe’s Burial
Fresh video has emerged showing the moment the Senate president Godswill Akpabio mildly clashed with the Governor of Rivers state, Siminalayi Fubara during the burial of the late Herbert Wigwe.
During the mild drama, the senate president had replied Fubara’s rhetorical question about what Politicians were fighting for in governance.
Earlier, Fubara had asked “This one has to do with our political class. What is all this struggle all about? You want to kill, you want to bury, what is it all about?
The senate president, Godswill Akpabio replied saying “What is the struggle all about? I will answer you. The struggle (we are not talking politics).
In 2006 I wanted to be a deputy governor, so the then deputy governor invited me and told me that, “This office has no money, there is nothing in it. I don’t know why you still insist on removing me from here and taking over”.
So the woman who went with me said, “Your excellency, then don’t wait for impeachment, just resign, since there is nothing in it”. And he stood up and started punching the woman and I said, “Your excellency, please don’t punch her. She is telling the truth. There is nothing in it, that’s why I want it, because you are too big for it”.
So, Your Excellency, Governor Fubara, if there is nothing in the struggle, don’t struggle.”
Recall the Rivers Governor, Simi Fubara has been in a heated battle with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The embattled Governor recently said he was willing to step down if that would bring peace to the state.
