Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and Senate President Godswill Akpabio went head to head during the burial of the late Access Bank Chief Executive Officer, Herbert Wigwe.
This was revealed in a video shared on X on Saturday, March 9.
Fubara was seen saying: “This one has to do with our political class, what is all these trouble all about.
“You want to kill, You want to bury, what is it all about.”
Akpabio on his part replied: “What is the struggle all about? I will answer you.
The struggle, we are not talking politics. In 2006 I wanted to be a Deputy Governor, so the then deputy Governor invited me and told me that this office has no money, there is nothing in it. I don’t know why you still insist on moving me from here and take me over.
“So the woman who went with me, said ‘your excellency, then don’t wait for impeachment, just resign since there’s nothing in it’.
“And he stood up and started punching the woman, and I told him, your excellency, don’t punch her, she’s telling the truth. There’s nothing in the office that’s why I want it, because you’re too big for it.
“So your excellency Governor Fubara, if there’s nothing in the struggle, don’t struggle.”
