The incumbent chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Samuel Nwanosike, has alleged that Governor Sim Fubara may have a hand in the persistent kidnappings in the Federal Capital Territory as a way of tarnishing the profile of his political foe, Nyesom Wike.
In a video on his X handle on Sunday, Nwanosike claim the goal was to force the presidency to fire FCT Minister Nyesom Wike out of office.
“He is paying people to go and tell Abuja that Wike is playing politics in Rivers state that they are doing kidnapping in Abuja,” the Ikwerre chairman told thousands of his supporters at Omerelu community in the video.
“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!” Mr Nwanosike told his supporters, who responded with excited screams of “foul.”
Mr Nwasonike, who 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 too would also continue insulting the governor.
“Fubara is a foolish governor because since he took office May 29, he has done nothing for Rivers people,” said the LG chair.
The local government chairman claimed President Bola Tinubu would not succumb to Mr Fubara’s cheap tactics to remove Mr Wike from office as he is happy with the latter’s performance despite the increased insecurity in the nation’s capital.
“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,” he stated.
