Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has hailed his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, on his 56th birthday anniversary.

Fubara, in a congratulatory tweet, shared a flyer showing Wike in a traditional outfit on his X handle on Wednesday.

The flyer text reads, “I congratulate my Oga, His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON, GSSRS, Life Bencher, immediate Past Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, on his 56th birthday today, December 13, 2023.”

“Your Excellency, my dear wife and I, and the good people of Rivers State, join your family and friends to felicitate you on this day. We sincerely pray that your new age brings you joy and good health.”

Fubara’s birthday wishes to Wike are coming amid political tension in Rivers over the alleged feud between the two political leaders.
