The Chief of State to Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State, Edison Ehie, has alleged that a member of President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet is planning to contest against the president in 2027.
Ehie claimed that the cabinet member from Rivers State has been holding secret meetings in the state on how to marshal out his plan.
He, however, assured that Fubara and the people of Rivers State were in support of Tinubu, stressing that the cabinet member should wait after the president’s eight year-tenure.
Ehie disclosed this while addressing youths in Port Harcourt during an empowerment programme.
According to him: “My dear Port Harcourt people, Mr president is interested in ensuring that Nigeria develops, the governor is working in-hand with Mr president to ensure that Rivers develop, and we enjoy a peaceful relationship between the centre and the grassroots.
“We are aware that some persons in the cabinet of Mr president are doing everything possible to hijack the state due to the meetings they have been having to contest against Mr president in 2027.
“The governor has continued to emphasized that Rivers State is for Mr President, so any Rivers son that wants to challenge Mr president should wait till after 2031. The president’s 4+4 is settled, Fubara’s 4+4 is also settled.”
