How Tinubu saved Fubara from my plot – Wike makes shocking revelation | Read Details
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that he had plotted for the outright removal of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, but he was saved by the state of emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja on Friday, Wike said;
“As a politician, I am not happy about the state of emergency in Rivers State,” Wike said. “I wanted the outright removal of Governor Fubara. The president, by declaring a state of emergency, saved Fubara.”
“The governor was gone. He was gone, yes… so when people say the president did this, I say they should be praising him,” he said.
“Every morning, they should go to the president and ask, ‘Can we wash your feet for saving us?’”
Recall that Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers on March 18, 2025, suspending Fubara, his deputy and the legislature and appointing an administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd).
