Wike Accuses Fubara’s Advisers Of Plotting To Take Over Rivers Governorship



Fubura-and-Wike


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, of surrounding himself with individuals who aspire to replace him as governor.


Speaking at a grand reception in his honor by the Kalabari people on Saturday, Wike claimed that those advising Fubara do not have his best interests at heart but are instead working to push him out of office.


He specifically mentioned the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, as a key figure in the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State. According to Wike, Danagogo played a major role in the rift between him and his successor, using legal maneuvers to destabilize the state government.


“The problem started when Danagogo, the Secretary to the Government, used his elder brother, who is a justice, to obtain an ex parte order claiming that 27 members of the Rivers Assembly had defected unnoticed. He also used the same order to justify that the state governor could present the budget to just three or four lawmakers,” Wike alleged.

He further accused Danagogo of harboring resentment for not securing the governorship ticket and using his influence to manipulate Fubara.


“Look at Danagogo, who wanted to be governor. He was so pained that he didn’t get the ticket. Now he is the one following the governor, and Fubara doesn’t even realize it. He will lead you straight into destruction,” Wike warned.


Wike insisted that Fubara’s political troubles stem from the advisers around him, whom he described as individuals he previously rejected for lacking the best interests of Rivers State.


“You surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no’ to because they don’t mean well for Rivers State. They are now the ones advising you. Do you think you will succeed? They are feeding you bad advice, and look at what it’s doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come. They insult me, and you think you’re winning, but you don’t see that they are setting you up for failure,” he said.


The political crisis in Rivers State has continued to deepen, with tensions between Wike and Fubara showing no signs of easing.
