Tinubu, Wike Plotting To Remove Fubara Ahead Of 2027 Polls” – Eze APC Chieftain

A chieftain of the All  Progressive Congress, APC, faction in Rivers State,  Chukwuemeka Eze on Tuesday March 11, 2025 pointedly accused the duo of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike of working in concert to impeach Governor Simimalayi Fubara to pave the way for  Speaker Martins Amaewfule to mount the saddle.

Before then however, a group ,the Supreme Council for Sim Worldwide, has warned that peace will surely take a flight from the State.

Both spoke against the backdrop of Monday’s open call for the impeachment of the Governor ,by the factional Chairman of the APC in Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha.

At an interactive session  with the media at his residence in Port Harcourt on Monday March 10, Chief Okocha gave Governor Fubara a 48-hour dateline to resign or be impeached .

According to him, the Supreme Court verdict of February 28,2025 having confirmed some of the impeachable infractions committed ,the Governor has no other option than to either voluntarily resign and be removed.

But in a statement issued on Tuesday, Chief Eze a leader of the APC faction in the State loyal to Rotimi Amaechi, noted that the Presidency and Wike are behind the naked dance by Chief Okocha and others pushing for the impeachment of Governor Fubara.

Eze alleged that the pampering of Wike, the immediate past Governor of the State by the Presidency is at the root of the political crisis in Rivers.

According to him, the grand plot is to have Governor Fubara and his deputy  impeached through any means possible, and install the  Speaker of the House of Assembly Amaewfule as Governor.

He insisted that the ultimate target of the entire plot is to have an ally and a pliable person at the helms before the 2027 General Elections.

“Wike, with the backing of the Presidency, is championing the plot to impeach Governor Fubara and install Amaewfule as Governor.

“Clearly, Wike is capitalizing on his unholy political marriage with President  Tinubu to destabilize Rivers State and distract Governor Fubara.

Their ultimate goal is to ensure that their stooge, Amaewfule, becomes Governor, giving them control over Rivers Politics heading into 2027″, Eze stated .

However, he insisted that the evil plans as well as those orchestrating them will fail woefully as the people of Rivers are prepared to take their destinies in their own hands.

According to him, the unending destabilizing plots ,will only serve to strengthen the Governor, rather than demoralizing him.
