Plot to Pit Wike Against Tinubu Has Failed, Says Ex-rivers CoS

Former Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Chukwuemeka Woke, has lambasted critics of his former boss and Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, saying their plot to pitch him against President Bola Tinubu is dead on arrival.

Woke observed that the critics abandoned the salient issues raised by Wike during his recent media chat to embark on fruitless blackmail aimed at causing disagreement between him and the president.

He said it had become obvious to the detractors that their diversionary tactics and their efforts to diminish the image of the minister had yielded no fruit.

Woke, who spoke at a critical stakeholders’ meeting of Emohua local government area held at the council’s secretariat on Wednesday evening, said Wike’s detractors were making desperate efforts to pass through the backdoor to gain the favour of the president, they never gave a chance at last election.

But he said their plot failed because the president knew their motives and antics and understood them as fair-weather politicians
