Following the current political turmoil in Rivers State, a Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, claims that the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, is more trustworthy than his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
According to Metrowatch, the standoff between Fubara and Wike, the incumbent Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has plunged the state into pandemonium.
Some Local Government Chairmen, who were supposed to leave their posts on Monday after their terms expired, were reportedly assaulted by some teenagers on Tuesday when they sought to get entrance to their offices.
There were reports of sporadic shootings in Port Harcourt the state capital on Tuesday allegedly by the operatives of the Rivers State Police command.
The chairmen who are loyal to Wike claimed that the state House of Assembly elongated their tenures by six months.
Reacting to the crisis, Aisha in a post on her X handle, chided the FCT Minister over his alleged involvement in the ongoing crisis.
According to Aisha, President Bola Tinubu would rather have a deal with Fubara than Wike, stressing that the Minister has no relevance to Rivers State’s structure.
She wrote, “Wike thought he was smart and decided to dine with the devil not knowing he was on the menu.
