\u00a0You’re architect of Rivers violence – Wike knocks Fubara<\/p>\n
\u00a0Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has pointed fingers at Governor Siminalayi Fubara, accusing him of being the mastermind behind the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
Wike made these accusations on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today program, emphasising that Fubara\u2019s decision to proceed with the local government election was a grave mistake.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wike\u2019s accusations come after a period of intense political tension in the State, with many analysts weighing in on the crisis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to Wike, Fubara\u2019s refusal to obey court judgments has led to the current instability, saying, \u201cNo person who believes in peace and stability of any nation will say he supports violence, will say he wants to support destruction, will say he doesn\u2019t want people to live in harmony.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what\u2019s important is that when there\u2019s violence, when there\u2019s instability, it\u2019s for you to ask questions: what has led to the violence, what has led to the instability, what has led to destruction?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI was a governor and I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor say the state is turning into anarchy. You must respect the rule of law, judgment of the court. It doesn\u2019t matter how you see that judgment. The moment you don\u2019t obey judgment, you\u2019re inviting anarchy and violence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cA governor came out on national television and said he won\u2019t obey court judgment. He went as far as to say he doesn\u2019t need police and protection of lives and property.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen someone says he doesn\u2019t need police and protection of lives and property, he\u2019s inviting anarchy. The governor is the architect of the violence,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
