Demola Olarenwaju, the Special Assistant on Digital Media Strategy to former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike is using the Nigeria Police Force and court to intimidate the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
Olarenwaju accused Wike of trying to use the police and court to set Rivers State on fire.
Speaking via a post on his X handle on Friday, the former aide lamented that it was terribly sad that Wike was in connivance with the IGP.
He was reacting to reports that Fubara stormed the headquarters of the Rivers State Independence Electoral Commission (RSIEC) following an attempt by the police to prevent Saturday’s local government election from holding.
He wrote, “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 on ground.
“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.”
