Timi Frank Urges Tinubu to Sack Wike as Minister Following Rivers Assembly Crisis

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently sack the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for allegedly masterminding a plot to impeach the Governor of Rivers State, Siminilayi Fubara.

In a statement issued today, Frank condemned the action of the police in tear-gassing and pouring water on Fubara.

He, therefore, called on the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to urgently remove the Commissioner of Police in Rivers over the partisan action of his men against the elected Governor of the State.

Frank noted that already Wike has started demolishing houses and revoking ownership of landed property in Abuja to anger Nigerians, to cause President Tinubu to be hated and portray the APC’s administration as wicked and anti-people.

He also said by the time Tinubu will realize it, it will be too late because Wike would have destroyed his government to make way for him to contest the post of President in 2027.

Frank insisted that Wike’s sack has become necessary to stop him from bringing Tinubu’s government into disrepute and destroying the APC.

He also called on governors across party lines to rally support for their Rivers State counterpart in his bid to end Wike’s dictatorship and God-fatherism in Rivers State.
