Wike Blames Lack of Communication with Tinubu for Rivers Emergency Rule Support

0 60

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has declared that he would not have consented to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if they had talked about his intention to announce a State of Emergency in Rivers State.
Wike stated that he is not in conflict with Siminalayi Fubara, the suspended Governor of Rivers State.
He emphasized his disagreement with the State of Emergency rule, asserting that only the President knows when it should be lifted.

During a conversation with reporters in Abuja on Monday, Wike noted that Fubara has allowed himself to be influenced by his opponents to stand against him.

The FCT Minister stated: “I clarified that this impunity will not be tolerated, so what is occurring in the PDP is what I refer to as undertakers because I see no reason for you to place yourself in such a crisis. “ I have no crises with him (Fubara). I am not the President who announced a State of Emergency; had Mr President called me, I wouldn’t have consented to the State of Emergency.

“He understands when to lift, he has everything on his table, I don’t know. I have never been in favor of it.

“However, my point was that the state of emergency was declared to save the governor from imminent impeachment.

“I’m not the one in crisis; instead, the governor has, unbeknownst to me, made himself a tool for those unable to fight me directly.”
