LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) –Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has chided a media aide to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, following the aide’s critical remarks about recent state projects in the Etche-Omuma area.
During the inauguration of the remodeled Government Girls’ Secondary School in Ahoada, Fubara referred to the aide as a “data boy” and “dog seller,” berating his comments.
The governor suggested that despite the aide’s close association with a former governor for eight years, he lacks a proper understanding of governance.
“If they love you, the appointment they gave to one boy the other day, if you were good, why didn’t they give you that appointment? Go and check yourself; something is wrong with you,” Fubara stated.

In his remarks, Fubara urged those who resort to online insults to reconsider their life choices and to contribute more positively to society. “We will not celebrate things that will not have meaning,” he emphasized.
The governor acknowledged past efforts in the state but insisted that his administration is dedicated to delivering new projects that meet the strategic needs of the community. “Projects’ delivery is not for mere fanfare,” he asserted.
Fubara also expressed gratitude to the Ekpeye people for their support, despite facing significant challenges, including the unjust detention of traditional rulers and his Chief of Staff, Dr. Edison Ehie.
He remains hopeful for justice and victory, asserting, “The truth is always clear: enemies have a time; their team cannot last forever.”
