Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has said he wouldn’t have inaugurated road projects in Obio Akpor Local Government Area of the state if he were an evil person.
Fubara said politics is all about service despite loyalties or allegiances.
He spoke while inaugurating Okocha road in Rumuolumeni community, Obio Akpor LGA.
Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory, hails from Obio Akpor and was chairman of the LGA from 1999 to 2007.
Fubara and Wike have been at loggerheads since he assumed office as governor.
Despite the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, the cold-war between the duo had persisted.
The rift had led to an attempt to bomb the state House of Assembly complex while 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Inaugurating the road project, Fubara said: “At this time, if I was an evil person, I would say, ‘I wouldn’t come here,’ considering the nature and the location of this place.
“But, because it is our duty in government to provide services, protect lives and property, we have to come to make sure that our people here are happy.”
