Tinubu is plotting to remove Rivers state governor Fubura by withholding state allocations —Timi Frank, Ex APC Spokesman
Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has accused President Bola Tinubu of masterminding a sinister plot to remove the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, from office.
This is even as he condemned in the strongest terms the recent “bizarre ruling” by a Federal High Court halting the monthly allocations accruing to Rivers State.
Frank, who disclosed these in a statement in Abuja, described the obnoxious court decision as one of the script written by the President in his bid to either force Fubara to join the APC or be removed from office.
“This is why the President has remained mute despite the gross violation of the Constitution by the courts and police in Rivers State all this while.
“The President is angry that Fubara disrespected him by refusing to join the APC because the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has convinced him that he cannot win presidential election in Rivers State in 2027 with Fubara in charge,” Frank said.
“Already all security agencies and federal government institutions are against Fubara because they have been directed to ensure that Fubara succumbs to the President wishes or be removed.
“This is the only reason why Justice Joyce Abdulmalik can make an unconstitutional order concerning statutory allocations to Rivers without fear of consequences but the consequences will be dire,” he said.
He equally called on leaders of the international community to wade in the crisis by prevailing on the President to stop his plot to remove Fubara or compel him to join the APC, saying that the operations of International Oil Companies (IOCs) in the Niger Delta region would be affected should crisis engulf the region.
