Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has accused his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, of sponsoring the Action Peoples Party (APP) in the recent local government elections.......KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE👈

Wike maintained that Fubara was involved in anti-party activities and was endorsed by Bala Muhammed, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors’ forum and governor of Bauchi state. He then criticises those who called for his suspension for supporting another candidate during the 2023 presidential elections.

Rivers LG election: APP won 22 of 23 seats

This allegation comes after APP won 22 out of 23 chairmanship positions, a surprising outcome given Fubara’s affiliation with the PDP, which did not participate in the elections.

Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), made these claims on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Tuesday, October 8, which was monitored by Legit.ng.

He stated:

“Today, people say ‘Discipline Wike, he did anti-party’. Today, what happened? The governor (Fubara) is the one who sponsored APP.”
Rivers LG election crisis

The local government elections were marked by controversy, with violence and arson reported in several areas. The elections saw the APP emerge victorious, with Fubara subsequently swearing in the newly elected chairpersons. However, Wike’s allegations suggest that Fubara may have played a significant role in APP’s success.

Fubara had earlier described himself as the “greatest loser” due to the PDP’s non-participation in the elections. However, Wike’s claims contradict this stance, implying that Fubara may have had a hidden agenda. The accusations have sparked attention, with many awaiting Fubara’s response to Wike’s allegations.

The development highlights the complex dynamics within Rivers State politics and the tensions between Wike and Fubara. As the situation unfolds, observers will be watching for reactions from Fubara, the PDP, and other stakeholders. The allegations have significant implications for the state’s political landscape and the relationships between key figures.

Fubara set to probe burning of LG secretariats

Legit earlier reported that Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers state, has said he will ensure those behind the burning of local government secretariats in the state face the wrath of the law.

During the swearing of new commissioners, the governor made the vow, adding that his government would not stand and watch political thugs in the state.

Following the outcome of local government elections in the state, no less than four council secretariats were burned down.
