WAHALA! Ex- Militant Leader CHALLENGES Wike, You Won’t Believe What He Threatened To Do If Fubara Is Impeached
Former Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, has issued a strong warning to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and the federal government, cautioning them against any attempts to remove Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, from office through impeachment. His statement comes amidst the escalating political crisis in Rivers State, where the power struggle between Wike and Fubara has intensified in recent months.
Dokubo, who remains a highly influential figure in the Niger Delta region, made it clear that the Ijaw people would not sit idly by while Fubara is forcefully removed from his position. He emphasized that any move to unseat the governor through political maneuvering would be strongly resisted.
In a video widely circulated on social media, Dokubo directly addressed the ongoing political turmoil, calling on the federal government to intervene and prevent the situation from escalating into full- blown chaos. He urged both Wike and Fubara to exercise restraint and maintain the status quo to avoid further destabilization of the state.
The political rift between Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, and his successor, Fubara, has become a major source of concern in the state. Wike, who played a significant role in ensuring Fubara’ s emergence as governor, has been accused of attempting to maintain control over the state’ s political affairs. However, tensions erupted when Fubara began asserting his independence, leading to a fierce power struggle between the two politicians.
The crisis took a dramatic turn when the Rivers State House of Assembly, largely believed to be loyal to Wike, initiated impeachment proceedings against Fubara. This development sparked outrage among Fubara’ s supporters and further deepened the division within the state’ s political landscape.
Reacting to these events, Dokubo warned that any attempt to remove Fubara from office would not be accepted by the Ijaw people, who make up a significant portion of Rivers State’ s population. He stressed that the governor’ s mandate was given by the people, and any effort to overturn their will through political manipulation would lead to serious consequences.
He also accused Wike and his loyalists of trying to destabilize the state for their own political interests. According to Dokubo, Wike’ s continued interference in Rivers politics is fueling unrest and could lead to a crisis that extends beyond the state. He called on the federal government, under President Bola Tinubu, to take urgent steps to address the situation and prevent it from escalating into a violent conflict.
Many political analysts believe that the ongoing crisis in Rivers State is a reflection of the broader struggle for power within Nigeria’ s ruling political class. Wike, who is now a key figure in Tinubu’ s administration as the FCT Minister, continues to wield significant influence in Rivers politics. However, Fubara’ s refusal to remain under his control has led to an intense battle for supremacy.
As tensions persist, various groups within the state have called for peace and reconciliation between the two political heavyweights. However, with the impeachment threat still looming over Fubara, the situation remains uncertain.
Dokubo’ s warning is a clear indication that the crisis could take a dangerous turn if not properly managed. His strong stance suggests that the Ijaw people are prepared to resist any attempt to remove Fubara by force, raising concerns about potential unrest in the oil- rich state. The coming days will likely determine whether the federal government will intervene decisively to restore stability or allow the political battle to continue unfolding.
