APC chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa, has stated that a lot of APC members are uncomfortable with the antics of the current Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, over his ongoing faceoff with the current governor of Rivers state, Sim Fubara.
While speaking on Arise TV, Onokpasa said APC and certainly President Bola Tinubu have no hand in the ongoing crisis in Rivers State.
He said Wike is not a member of the APC and that he is an appointee of the President so he must stop these antics and face his job as FCT Minister.
‘’Our party has no hand in whatever is happening in Rivers state. As for Wike, a lot of our party members are pretty uncomfortable with some of his antics. That is just the bitter truth. Our President called, called Governor Fubara, tried to achieve a settlement between the two parties and then the next thing we hear is some people are decamping and there are moves to impeach the governor and we woke up one morning and then a budget is presented, some people their seats are declared vacant, the House of Assembly is being demolished. These are very bad optics. That is just the truth and I personally, I am uncomfortable with….not only me, a lot of our party members, with Minister Wike. What are basically his excesses> You are a Minister of the Federal Republic for God’s sake. You are not even a member of our party. Our president gave you and appointment. Face your job for God’s sake. Enough of these antics, these excesses.”
