The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that he is not fighting with the suspended governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, but with those who are inciting him to act against him.

The minister, while speaking during an interview with BBC Pidgin published on Saturday afternoon, insisted that Fubara remains his political son.

According to the minister, those behind Fubara are now ashamed because they are losing the battle.

The Minister said, “That one is not a battle. He (Fubara) is my boy, he is my son, why will I fight with him?

“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.”
