“Fubara Sponsored Protesters Who Invaded FCT Ministers House” – Wike’s Loyalists Allege.
Former local government chairmen in Rivers State who are loyalists of FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of sponsoring hunger protesters to invade the Port Harcourt home of the minister.
Amid the nationwide hunger protest, demonstrators had on Tuesday marched to Wike’s mansion along Ada George Road in Port Harcourt and laid siege to it.
Speaking on Wednesday under the aegis of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Rivers State chapter, the chairmen, who were elected during Wike’s tenure as governor, warned Governor Fubara that he did not have the monopoly of violence.
Speaking, a former Chairman of the Emuoha Local Government Area, Chidi Lloyd, said, “We are aware that he (Fubara) directed the protesters to go to the residence of the minister.
“We will also organise our people and go to Forces Avenue where he is building on a 32-plot of land. Enough is enough. Fubara does not have the capacity to cow anybody here. He knows it. And we know his properties and those of his cronies.
“All they have achieved has just been mountainous looting of Rivers funds. So he should be very careful. He wants to incite ethnic bigotry here. If what happened yesterday at Ada George repeats itself Fubara will not even be here to govern the state.
“We will not allow him to destroy all that we have achieved in this state just because he knows nothing about leadership. So the protesters should gather in the government house and ask him what he has done with the N238bn he collected between May and June.”
