The Nation Newspaper Rivers crisis: Elders caution Fubara, absolve Wike of blame
Rivers State leaders and elders under the aegis of Rivers Elders Forum yesterday said the allegation that Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike was behind the impeachmentmove against Governor Siminalayi Fubara was false.
On what led to the crisis, the elders said: “We are aware that there was a pre-existing problem between Ehie, the then majority leader, and his colleagues that culminated in his removal. “The governor neither sought the help, clarification, intervention of Wike and the elders on the development, nor did he discourage damaging lies to be peddled against Wike.
“The governor being aware of the lies and not debunking them showed bad faith and ingratitude. Governor Fubara is aware that Nyesom Wike invested heavily in the infrastructural development of Rivers State. “Wike has since facilitated the appointments of more Ijaw sons since he came to Abuja, including Boma Iyaye, Executive Director Finance, NDDC, and Rufus Godwin as member of the Federal Civil Service Commission.
They warned persons advising Fubara to engage Wike in a needless battle to desist and allow the governor concentrate on consolidating the achievements of Wike.
