The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has said the biggest mistakes made by his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, were trying to do things alone and attempting to build his own political structure too early after assuming office as governor.
Wike said it was shocking that Fubara started moving to build his political structure when he was barely 100 days into office.
He said the development clearly showed that the governor undermined those who supported him and the political structure that brought him to power.
Wike stated this during a special media chat held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Saturday and monitored by our correspondent.
The FCT minister said that while leaving office as governor, he had laid a solid foundation which he wanted Fubara to build on so that the state could gradually catch up with Lagos in terms of infrastructure, but little did he know that the latter had his own plans.
Wike said he initiated the multi-billion-naira Port Harcourt Ring Road project linking several local government areas, which had already commenced before he handed over to the incumbent governor, describing it as a legacy project he conceived.
He said he built 12 flyovers, all of which were commissioned while he was still governor of the oil-rich state, adding that they improved the infrastructure and aesthetics of Port Harcourt, the state capital, and its environs.
