Political Storm In Rivers State: Former Head Of Service Accuses Governor Fubara

Breaking: Former Head of Service Makes Bold Claims Against Governor

Listen up, folks: A major twist has emerged in the political drama unfolding in Rivers State. George Nwaeke, the former Head of Service, dropped some serious accusations against Governor Siminalayi Fubara late last Friday. This isn’t just any political squabble—it’s a bombshell that could shake the foundation of state politics.

According to Naija News, Nwaeke accused the governor of orchestrating the bombing of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex back in 2023. He claimed the attack was no random act of violence but a calculated move to thwart an impeachment attempt against Fubara. Imagine that—using explosives to keep your job? That’s some next-level political strategy right there.

In a press briefing held in Abuja, Nwaeke revealed that militant groups allegedly carried out the attack on the Assembly complex under the governor’s orders. He painted a picture of a deeply divided political landscape, where loyalty and betrayal are the main players. The Assembly complex had long been suspected as a target for militants believed to be working for certain politicians within the state.

But wait, there’s more. Nwaeke didn’t stop at the bombing allegations. He went on to claim that Governor Fubara was plotting something even bigger—a destabilization plan involving militant groups from Ijaw-speaking areas. According to him, the governor intended to sabotage oil facilities to create chaos and unrest across the region.

Here’s the kicker: Fubara reportedly aimed to orchestrate attacks in areas like Ogoni and Oyigbo before moving on to Ijaw communities. The goal? To make it look like the entire state was spiraling out of control. If true, this would be a massive breach of trust and responsibility. It’s not just about politics anymore—it’s about the safety and well-being of thousands of innocent people.

Nwaeke also raised concerns about frequent high-profile meetings between Fubara, his Chief of Staff, and leaders of militant groups. These gatherings, he alleged, often ended with substantial cash exchanges, fueling suspicions of corruption and illegal activities. It’s like watching a political thriller unfold in real-time.

Political Rift Deepens: Impeachment Moves

The tension between factions in the Rivers State House of Assembly reached a boiling point in October 2023 when part of the complex was bombed. This incident only deepened the rift between those loyal to Governor Fubara and those aligned with former Governor Nyesom Wike.

The situation escalated further when the Assembly, largely controlled by Wike’s allies, began impeachment proceedings against Fubara. The charges included illegal budget presentations and disputes over the legislature’s composition. It’s a classic tale of power struggles and political maneuvering, with each side fighting tooth and nail for control.

Ijaw National Congress Fires Back

Not everyone is buying Nwaeke’s story. The Ijaw National Congress (INC) has come out swinging, condemning the allegations as a smear campaign against Governor Fubara. Ezonebi Oyakemeagbegha, the National Publicity Secretary of the INC, spoke to Punch and dismissed the claims as baseless.

Oyakemeagbegha suggested that the accusations might have been made under pressure, with individuals being coerced into making statements they wouldn’t normally make. He emphasized, “These are all means to blackmail Fubara. They should stop all these forms of blackmail. It is clear that some of these things are done under duress. Some people may be forced to say things they wouldn’t say ordinarily, and it is clear this is one of them.”

As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the political landscape in Rivers State is more volatile than ever. Whether Nwaeke’s claims hold water or not, this story is far from over. Stay tuned, because things are about to get interesting.
