Demola Olarenwaju, former Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to Atiku Abubakar, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of using the police and courts to create political unrest in Rivers State.
Olarenwaju made these allegations in response to a reported incident involving Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, who visited the Rivers State Independence Electoral Commission (RSIEC) headquarters.
This followed what was described as an attempt by the police to stop the local government elections scheduled for Saturday.
In a post shared on X, Olarenwaju criticized Wike for dragging the police and judiciary into his ongoing political rift with Governor Fubara. He warned that Wike’s actions could escalate tensions in the state.
Olarenwaju stated, “Tinubu’s Minister, Wike is dragging the courts and the police into his political beef with his successor Governor Sim Fubara whom the people are with.
“It is a shame to him and his record as a former Governor that he wants to set his own state on fire, but Fubara is fully onground.
“Terribly sad and absolutely condemnable that Nyesom Wike in connivance with the IGP are fomenting trouble in Rivers. This is entirely on APC under Tinubu’s watch.
“A sad throwback to the dangerous federal gangsterism days of early Democracy that Rivers’ people must resist.”
Wike has yet to respond to these accusations.
