Rivers Lawmaker, George, Calls Fubara “Small Man” …Says I Have Respected You For So Long

The twists and turns in Rivers State is taking new dimensions by the day owing to the crisis between Governor Siminalayi Fubara of the state and his estranged godfather, former governor Nyesom Wike of the state, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Just yesterday, the state lawmakers were divided into two sharp divisions as a member of the House from the camp of Governor Siminalayi Fubara;
Rt. Hon. Oko Jumbo, representing Bonny Constituency, merged as the Speaker of the Assembly. He has just two loyal members.
His emergence came despite the fact that the 27 lawmakers from Wike camp, who have since defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), still recognise Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule as Speaker.
The latest drama from the oil producing state is a report that a Rivers State House of Assembly member, Hon. Enemi Alabo George, called Governor Sim Fubara a ‘small man’ for storming the Assembly.
He said, “Let me today dare Sim Fubara for the first time. You had the guts to break the gates of the Rivers State House of Assembly  quarters and force yourself into the quarters, threatening and harassing people.
“Shooting and putting fear into people, into wives of Assembly members and their Children, just to assert yourself. You are such a small man.
“You burnt the hallowed chambers of the House of Assembly , we did not answer you, you attacked the residence of the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, where four people were killed, we did not answer you, you demolished the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex, we we did not answer you, we thought it the madness of a minute. You know where I live, you know my apartment, why didn’t you come?.
“I have respected our friendship for so long. I have refused to comment about you, I have respected your office as governor. I have always remembered that while I worked with Zenith Bank you were my friend, I have always remembered that you and me did a Masters Degree together, I have always remembered how much I worked for you to be Governor, how I mobilized professionals from all works and corners of life to support you. I remember that the only time you had the opportunity to present your blueprint to Rivers people, it was me!!! I orchestrated that, Yes!!! You have done enough.”
“Now, let the heavens fall, I will never bow to baal. You are such a small man.”
