President Bola Tinubu, Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalaye Fubara
Some Niger Delta monarchs, HRM King Dodo II of Bilabiri Kingdom, Bayelsa State, and HRH King-Jerry Prebor, the Meinbutus Federal Communities, Warri, Delta State, have called on President Bola Tinubu to fire the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, or call him to order before he causes more troubles for him in Rivers State.
The monarchs, who spoke amid the bombing of the Trans-Niger pipeline in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, and current events in the oil-rich state, said Wike would be a good riddance to Mr. President because of his 2027 ambition.
King Prebor told Vanguard on the phone, “Given the current events in Rivers State and the likely outcome, I implore President Tinubu, Wike’s employer, to fire him now or call him to order before things get out of hand.”
On his part, King Dodo II said: “On the present situation in the Niger Delta, particularly Rivers State, the president should call his minister to order. The president should take the matter of River State as a serious issue and act fast on it. He should not become the enemy of the Rivers people because of Wike’s selfish desire.” (Vanguard)
