Dog Barks When It Doesn’t Understand – Fubara Reacts Amid Fresh Tensions With Wike

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged his supporters to remain calm amid the ongoing political face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking at the New Year banquet on Thursday at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara said his team has chosen not to react noisily because they fully understand the situation, while those making noise are doing so out of confusion.

He reassured supporters that all necessary arrangements have been put in place to ensure the smooth running of his administration and to support his re-election ambitions.

Using an analogy, the governor explained that unnecessary reactions often stem from a lack of understanding.

“Don’t be disturbed by what is happening. Caesar once said the only reason a dog barks is when it doesn’t understand.

“If you have a dog in your house and it knows you, does it need to bark? When it does, it is probably seeing something it doesn’t understand.

“We are not barking because we understand. We know where we are going, and we have put everything in place to make the journey smooth,” he said.
