He said: “All these things you are seeing didn’t start today, it started with the ministerial position. They are not happy, APC Governors, that I was given the Minister of FCT.

“During the crisis with my Governor, Fubara, they misled my governor. They couldn’t give the governor a second term.

“Now you are talking about the Rainbow Coalition being a problem, how will it be a problem? Most of us think that because we are governors, we are alpha and omega, anything we decide must happen, it’s not true.

“I was the Minister of State when I ran for the governorship of Rivers in 2015, I defeated the candidate of the incumbent governor.”
