Wike, a member of Rivers PDP, who was, however, appointed as a minister by the ruling All Progressive Congress, has been at loggerheads with his godson Siminalayi Fubara shortly after he ascended the position of Rivers state governor.
The group’s Director, Hon. Usman Saidu Calculus, speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, May 14, called the former governor’s actions arrogant and unfitting of an elderly leader.
The group particularly pinpointed how Wike’s ‘treachery’ has led to the defection of 25 lawmakers to the opposition party, APC, accusing him of using Hon. Amaewhule Martins and other ex-PDP lawmakers as cannon fodder
Calculus said:
The group said Wike was using his financial muscle to disrupt the party’s order, reducing the party to the barest minimum.
Calculus said:
TimesNow.com.ng had earlier reported that Governor Siminalayi Fubara had revealed a plan to probe and prosecute his predecessor, Nyesom Wike’s administration, in Rivers state.
Fubara disclosed his plan at the inauguration of Dagogo Iboroma as the attorney general of Rivers state on Monday, May 13.
The governor’s comment came after Wike expressed regret in nominating Fubara as his successor and vowed to correct his mistake at the right time.
