Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently sack the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for allegedly masterminding a plot to impeach the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
Frank also called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to urgently remove the Commissioner of Police in Rivers state, over the partisan actions of his officers against the elected Governor of the State.
In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Frank condemned the action of the police in tear-gassing and pouring water on Governor Fubara, who is supposed to be the “Chief Security Officer of the state.”
He insisted that Wike’s sack has become necessary to prevent him from damaging Tinubu’s government and the APC.
“Already Wike has started demolishing houses and revoking ownership of land in Abuja in an attempt to anger Nigerians, turn them against Tinubu, and portray the APC’s administration as wicked and anti-people,” Frank said.
“By the time Tinubu realizes it, it will be too late because Wike will have destroyed his government in order to pave the way for himself to contest the presidency in 2027.”
Frank said Wike is only interested in good governance when it suits his own agenda. He accused Wike of being a dictator who is after Rivers’ money.
Frank called on governors across party lines to rally support for their Rivers State counterpart in his bid to end Wike’s dictatorship and god-fatherism in Rivers State.
“If they allow Wike to succeed, to use federal might to illegally remove Fubara as governor, at the end of the day, sitting governors will become vegetables like local government chairmen in states because former governors who worked for their emergence as governors, will borrow a leaf of illegality from Wike to hound them out of office whenever they fail to do their bidding. So, it’s not all about the Rivers’ governor.”
He called on Fubara to remain resolute and dogged in pushing back the evil machinations of Wike. He said he believed that at the end of the day light would triumph over darkness.
He also called on Fubara to reach out to the people of Rivers state across party lines to bring about genuine reconciliation and support in order to engender peace in the state.
He equally called on Nigerians especially the people of Rivers State not to allow Wike to cause crisis in the state.
He urged them to stand firm against Wike’s dictatorial tendency in Rivers.
