Rivers Crisis: 'Wike trying to become another Tinubu' - Dele Momodu

Chieftain of PDP, Dele Momodu, has shared his opinions about the ongoing crisis in Rivers State between the incumbent governor, Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Some Nigerians believe that Wike has been pitching the Rivers State House of Assembly against Governor Fubara, who has been served an impeachment notice.

Reports indicate that Wike advised ex-Lagos governor, Akinwunmi against being controlled by Bola Tinubu.

Information gathered further revealed that the feud intensified when the House majority leader, Hon. Edison Ehie, a loyalist of the incumbent, was stripped of his position and suspended from the parliament.

The cause of their feud is not known, but some Nigerians have linked it to what might be called a godfather and godson rift.

Reacting to this, Dele Momodu supported a post on X which labelled Wike as trying to play a godfather role in Rivers State as allegedly likened to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos State.

The post reads: "What is Wike trying to become in Nigeria? Another Tinubu???"

Very sad and unfortunate, only one man wants to control Abuja and Rivers simultaneously... The Governor of Rivers under attack... Barely six months in government, the gentleman GOVERNOR FUBARA is about to be impeached...
