Timi Frank Cautions President Tinubu To Watch Out For Wike, Urges His Sack

By Ayodele Oni

As reactions trail the political crisis in Rivers state, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has advised President Bola Tinubu, to sack the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

He said Wike’s sack is inevitable as he has been fingered to be  mastermind of a plot to impeach the Governor of Rivers State, Siminilaye  Fubara.

Frank in a statement in Abuja, on Tuesday, condemned the action of the police in tear-gassing and pouring water on Governor Fubara, who is supposed to be the Chief Security Officer of the state.

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

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

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

“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.

“All Wike is after good governance, he has started preparation for 2027 presidency. So he’s very desperate and he will do everything to please Tinubu, but at the same time he is going to destroy the government if they do not call him to order.

“If Wike loves Tinubu and believes in his administration, let him officially join the APC and become a card-carrying member of the party.

“But he has refused to do so because he wants to destroy the APC to enable him contest for presidency in 2027, using the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP). He has refused to defect to APC because of his evil agenda.

“Tinubu and APC should not only be wary, but should urgently call on Wike to stop this madness in River State, otherwise, it will backfire.

“Wike campaigned for Fubara and claimed he was the best among all the other candidates for the governorship election. But suddenly, Fubara is now his enemy because Fubara is no longer taking directives from him being a dictator who is after Rivers’ money.

“If they allow Wike to succeed, to use federal might to illegally remove Fubara as governor, at the end of the day, sitting governors will become vegetables like local government chairmen in state.”
