Asari Dokubo, a prominent chieftain from the Niger Delta and former President of Ijaw Youth Worldwide, has issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu and Minister Nyesom Wike regarding any attempts to remove Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara from office.
In an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Dokubo stated, “If you try to remove Fubara, something will happen.”
Dokubo expressed his discontent with the current political dynamics in Rivers State, claiming that Tinubu’s administration is enabling Wike to undermine the region’s stability.
“I should be able to tell [Tinubu] the truth about what is happening in Rivers State, where Tinubu is supporting Nyesom Wike to destabilize Rivers State,” he lamented.
He further criticised the federal government for allowing Wike to “procure judgment of all sorts” and intimidate the people of Rivers State.
“As a stakeholder in Rivers State, I feel disappointed…,” he added, emphasising the need for a united front against potential political upheaval.
The friction between Fubara and Wike has been palpable, as they vie for control over the political structure in the state.
With Dokubo’s warning amplifying the stakes, it remains to be seen how this political drama will unfold and what impact it will have on the residents of Rivers State.
