Former militant leader Asari Dokubo has suggested that Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, should be held accountable for the demolition of the State House of Assembly.
Fubara, according to Dokubo, must explain to the people of the state why he made such a foolish decision to demolish the House of Assembly. He requested that the destruction be avoided.
In a video on Facebook, Dokubo said Fubara must serve the people’s interests, not personal goals.
Metrowatchxtra.com reports that the political tension between Wike and Fubara led to 27 lawmakers in the state defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Amid the defection, the state government demolished the complex on Wednesday.
Reacting, Dokubo said: “Whoever advised the governor to take this bad decision, the governor will have to come out and explain to the people why he decided to demolish our House of Assembly.
“First it was a fire in the hallowed chambers, now it’s to demolish the House of Assembly shamelessly.
“Anyone responsible for the burning of the hallowed chambers and now the demolition of the House of Assembly should be fished out; if Sim is responsible, he should be held by the Rivers people.
“He has to come out and explain to the people why he demolished the House. If it’s Wike, he should also be held accountable and with whoever is supporting them.”
