The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike says no law mandates Governo Sim Fubara to resume office today following the suspension of the emergency rule in the state.
In an interview with Channels TV this evening September 18, Wike said governance is not confined to physical presence in office
“There is no law that says Fubara must resume today. He is a governor. I don’t understand the way we operate. I was sworn in today, for example, it does not mean I will go to work tomorrow. You don’t know what my programmes are; you don’t know what the governor has scheduled to do; you don’t know where he is.
Governance does not mean you must be in the office governing, no, it is not true. Do you know whether he is in Abuja doing one thing or the other?” he said
The governor’s absence from office today raised concerns with many speculating that he is not interested in returning to office.
Some of his supporters had stormed the state government house to welcome him but later left the vicinity after they waited endlessly for him to resume office.
