Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of being responsible for the ongoing political unrest in Rivers State.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Wike criticised the governor for proceeding with the local government election despite court rulings.

Wike, the former governor of Rivers State, expressed concern over Fubara’s decision to disregard legal judgements, stating that it has led to instability and violence in the state.

“No person who believes in peace and stability of any nation will say he supports violence, will say he wants to support destruction, will say he doesn’t want people to live in harmony,” Wike remarked.

He emphasized the importance of asking critical questions to understand the root causes of instability, noting that failure to respect the rule of law invites disorder.

“I was a governor and I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor say the state is turning into anarchy. You must respect the rule of law, the judgement of the court. It doesn’t matter how you see that judgement. The moment you don’t obey judgement, you’re inviting anarchy and violence,” he added.

Wike further criticised Fubara for publicly stating that he did not require police protection for lives and property, accusing him of promoting anarchy.

“When someone says he doesn’t need police and protection of lives and property, he’s inviting anarchy. The governor is the architect of the violence,” Wike concluded.
