Fubara sponsoring kidnappings in Abuja to engineer Wike’s removal – Ikwerre LG chairman
Governor Sim Fubara is the mastermind of the perennial abductions and the deepening security crisis in Federal Capital Territory, the chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State, Samuel Nwanosike, has said.
Nwanosike, a long-standing and staunch loyalist of the immediate past governor of Rivers and current FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, described Fubara as a fool.
He said the incessant kidnappings in Abuja was part of Fubara elaborate plot to tarnish Wike’s image, discredit him and force him out of office.
Nwanosike made the startling allegations in a video on his X handle on Sunday.
“He is paying people to go and tell Abuja that Wike is playing politics in Rivers state that they are doing kidnapping in Abuja,” the Ikwerre chairman told thousands of his supporters at Omerelu community in the video.
“It means that Fubara is part of those supporting the kidnappings in Abuja because he wants Nyesom Wike to leave office. Nyesom Wike will not leave office. Foul!” Mr Nwanosike told his supporters, who responded with excited screams of “foul.”

Nwasonike claimed that the governor had not achieved anything since his assumption of office.
He said since Mr Fubara was paying Ihunwo, the chairman of Rivers Youth Council, to insult the FCT minister, he would also continue insulting the governor.
“Fubara is a foolish governor because since he took office May 29, he has done nothing for Rivers people,” said the LG chair.
The local government chairman claimed President Bola Tinubu would not succumb to Mr Fubara’s cheap tactics to remove Mr Wike from office as he is happy with the latter’s performance despite the increased insecurity in the nation’s capital.
“Tinubu is aware of who he appointed, and I’m happy that Tinubu is happy that Nyesom Wike is delivering in the service of democracy,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Mr Wike had, last week, said the exacerbated kidnappings in Abuja were the ripple effect of military inroads in Kaduna and Niger states, which had flushed out many bandits from the region.
Wike and Fubara had been at daggers drawn over the affairs of the state until the president intervened and came up with a resolution with conditions favouring the minister.
However, tempers remain flared and nerves are still frayed as the duo continue their proxy and cold war over the political and economic control of the state.
