Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has been accused by Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike of ignoring governance in favor of 2027 ambitions.
According to Naija News, Wike voiced concern over what he called Fubara’s misguided goals during a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
Wike claims that instead of submitting a budget to the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor Fubara is focusing on his desire for a second term at the expense of important governance duties.
The minister cautioned that the delivery of vital services to the people of Rivers State and the efficient operation of government operations could be hampered by the delay in budget presentation.
“The governor is busy running for a second term, but he has not yet submitted his budget to the House of Assembly,” he stated.
In the meantime, Wike has been accused by Bode George, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), of influencing the choice of candidates for governorship in Rivers State for both the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
George called the event concerning and cautioned that, if left unchecked, it might destabilize the PDP and the political climate of the nation.
The PDP leader was interviewed on Arise Television’s *Morning Show on Wednesday.
George voiced worry about the PDP’s ongoing problem, calling it unprecedented.
He chastised certain party members for allegedly disobeying the party’s policies and procedures, especially those in Wike’s section.
