Timi Frank, a former deputy spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), will make Nigerians “dislike” President Bola Tinubu.
Frank said this in reaction to an alleged plot to impeach Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers state.
Fubara said he was shot at and teargassed when he visited the state house of assembly which was partly razed on Sunday.
In a statement on Tuesday, Frank blamed Wike for the chaos in Rivers and asked the president to sack him.

“Already Wike has started demolishing houses and revoking ownership of landed property in Abuja to anger Nigerians, cause Tinubu to be hated and portray the APC’s administration as wicked and anti-people,” he said.
“By the time Tinubu will realize it, it will be too late because Wike would have destroyed his government to make way for him to contest the post of President in 2027.
“If Wike loves Tinubu and believes in his administration, let him officially join the APC and become a card-carrying member of the party.

“Tinubu and APC should not only be wary but should urgently call on Wike to stop this madness in Rivers state, otherwise, it will backfire.
“Wike campaigned for Fubara and claimed he was the best among all the other candidates for the governorship election.
“But suddenly, Fubara is now his enemy because Fubara is no longer taking directives from him being a dictator who is after Rivers’ money.”
The former deputy spokesperson said governors, irrespective of party affiliations, should support Fubara.
