In attendance included Local Government Chairmen, Members of The State House of Assembly, and former Commissioners loyal to Wike.
Former Benue State Chief Samuel Ortom was also in the bouquet. Ortom is a member of the G- 5 governors who are also members of the PDP that withdrew their support for Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential flag bearer of the PDP in the last general election.
It’s is obvious that former governor Wike and his successor has been in disagreement in the last few months with Wike accusing Fubara of trying to destroy the structure that brought him into power , reports has it that the bouquet was the first time the common citizens were free to access the house of the Minister as he opened his gate to all and sundry which observers believe is a decor to lure the citizenry to his side as most Rivers State indigenes are in support of Fubara.
Awesome
The political turmoil between the duo led to the Assembly Members loyal to Wike planning to impeach Governor Fubara , Wike however accepted as being behind it in a television programme.
