Rivers Crisis: ‘I Am Very Disappointed In What The Minister Is Doing’ – Wike’s Ex-Commissioner

A former Commissioner for Information in Rivers State, Austin Tam-George, has leveled serious accusations against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, claiming that he is attempting to destabilize the state.

Rivers State has been in the news for several months, with heightened tensions in recent weeks leading up to the local government elections.

The ongoing power struggle between Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, and the current Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has intensified political discourse and captured public attention.

Tam-George contends that Wike is engaging in activities aimed at creating instability in Rivers State, further complicating the already contentious relationship between the two political figures.

He alleges that Wike’s actions are not only detrimental to the current administration but also threaten the overall peace and security of the state.

The former commissioner who served under Wike’s administration said on Channels Television, “I’m very disappointed in what the minister is doing. He’s the one orchestrating this. He’s the one who has set forth a process to destabilise the state.

“I was commissioner for information in the previous administration and so I’m highly disappointed in the minister. What I expected him to do was to, you know, focus on his mandate.”
