Don’t allow Wike call shots, APC chieftain advises Rivers’ gov

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuwemeka Eze, has advised Rivers State Governor, Similanayi Fubara, to brace up to the challenges of governance and take full leadership of the state.

In a statement yesterday, Eze expressed worry over what he described as the overbearing influence of Wike in the governance of the state, saying he still called the shots despite being out of power in the state.

Eze said, “Mr Siminialayi Fubara must be alarmed that he remains responsible and accountable for every action taken on behalf of the state from May 29, 2023, when he assumed office. It is immaterial whether such actions are taken by him or his overlord, Wike.

“It is public knowledge that Wike has reappointed some commissioners who worked under him to continue with Sim Fubara.”
