Wike initiated plots to destabilise Rivers — Ex-Commissioner

Wike initiated plots to destabilise Rivers — Ex-Commissioner

A former commissioner for information in Rivers state, Austin Tam-George, has expressed disappointment in Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT) over alleged attempts to destabilize the state.

Tam-George shared his thoughts on Channel Television’s “Morning Brief” on Monday, reflecting on his 2017 resignation under Wike’s governorship.

Wike governed Rivers from 2015 to 2023 and has been at odds with Governor Siminalayi Fubara for nearly a year.

The feud escalated more ahead of local government elections, prompting Tam-George to urge Wike to prioritize his ministerial duties.

“I’m very disappointed in what the minister is doing. He’s the one orchestrating this. He’s the one who has set forth a process to destabilise the state,” he said.

Tam-George noted Wike’s focus should be on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), particularly addressing its struggling public schools.

Instead, Wike’s actions are met with resistance from Rivers people, who want Governor Fubara to implement effective administration.

Tam-George appealed to Wike to let Governor Fubara do his job, saying, “For God’s sake, let us allow Governor Fubara to do his work.”
