Rivers Allocation: Timi Frank Accuses Tinubu of Plot to Remove Fubara From Office

 

Timi Frank, an ex-Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has made an accusation against President Bola Tinubu.

 

Speaking on Friday, he accused Tinubu of plotting to remove Governor Sim Fubara from office.

 

In a statement which he issued and made available to DAILY POST in Abuja, he described the ruling as obnoxious and a script written by the President in his bid to either force Fubara to join the APC or be removed from office.

 

He said, “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.

 

He however warned the President to steer clear off Rivers State as any attempt to touch the funds legally accruing to the state or to force Fubara out of office will be resisted by the people of the state and the entire Niger Delta region.

 

“Rivers’ people and the Niger Delta will resist it to the extent that the entire country will feel the impact as the President will not be able to quell the unimaginable uprising that will result from the action,” he said.

 

He urged Fubara to remain steadfast in standing for the people and defending the sovereignty of Rivers State, stressing that the people are solidly behind him.
