Rivers Crisis: Wike Blames Fubara For Violence (Video)

Former Rivers State governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has blamed Governor Sim Fubara for the recent unrest in the state following the local government elections.

Wike blamed Governor Fubara for the crisis during an appearance on Politics Today, a program on Channels TV.

According to Wike, the chaos that erupted in Rivers State after the elections was a direct result of Fubara’s actions, particularly his alleged disregard for police involvement in managing the elections. Wike criticized the governor for what he described as a reckless approach to ensuring security during such a critical event.

“Fubara is the cause of the mayhem that happened in Rivers State in the aftermath of the LGA elections,” Wike stated. “It’s not possible for a governor to say he doesn’t need the police to handle an election in his state.”

Wike emphasized the importance of police presence during elections, arguing that it is irresponsible for any governor to believe they can successfully conduct elections without law enforcement support. His comments come amid rising tensions in Rivers State, with the unrest linked to disputes over the conduct of the local government polls.
