Fubara behind kidnapping in Abuja to force Wike’s removal – Rivers LGA chairman alleges

Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State, Samuel Nwanosike, has alleged that Rivers state Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the one orchestrating the incessant kidnappings in the Federal Capital Territory.

Nwanosike, in a video making the rounds on social media accused Fubara of being part of a plot to discredit and force the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike out of office.

Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers and the current governor have been at loggerheads for weeks over the running of the state.

The Ikwerre chairman who was addressing his supporters at Omerelu community, said Fubara hired some people to go to the nation’s capital and paint a bad picture to the FG about Wike

Nwanosike said; “He is paying people to go and tell Abuja that Wike is playing politics in Rivers state that they are doing kidnapping in Abuja

“It means that Fubara is part of those supporting the kidnappings in Abuja because he wants Nyesom Wike to leave office. Nyesom Wike will not leave office. Foul!”

He also alleged that the governor had yet to record any achievement since his assumption of office, said since Mr Fubara was paying Ihunwo, the chairman of Rivers Youth Council, to insult the FCT minister, he would also continue insulting the governor.

The local government chairman claimed President Bola Tinubu would not succumb to the governor’s cheap tactics to remove Wike from office as he is happy with the latter’s performance despite the increased insecurity in the nation’s capital.

“Fubara is a foolish governor because since he took office May 29, he has done nothing for Rivers people…

“Tinubu is aware of who he appointed, and I’m happy that Tinubu is happy that Nyesom Wike is delivering in the service of democracy,” Nwanosike added.
