In Nwogu’s words: “Wike told Fubara “when I was making you governor I didn’t take you anywhere to swear loyalty, I didn’t ask you to sign a document, I didn’t ask you to give anything to me. I felt you can do the job and I supported you, having worked with me all this while. It is to my shock that today my name is being dragged. It would be nice if you explain what exactly is the problem between us since the elders are here so that we can resolve this. Fubara said there is no problem
