The dismissal of the smubar of the accusations of Nwaeke is not enough

Former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi recently commented on the rivers crisis dates back to his administration (2007-2015)-he assumed that the burst between the suspended governor Siminalayi Fubara and the former governor and the minister of the Federal Capital territory (FCT), the Nyesom Wike Capo, was hidden by “How to share the money of the State of the River”.

Amaechi, who was in the distance while Fubara and Wike transformed spars into a theater of acrimonia and chaos, made the affirmation into an interview with DW on March 19, 2025, after having reaffirmed on the political scene and describing how the emergency domain of the “unconstitutional” president Bola Tinubu.

According to Amaechi: “The struggle with the current governor of the State of Rivers and the Minister of FCT concerns the sharing of money. Otherwise, what is the dispute? The Nigerians do not like corruption again. I have not seen anyone on the way to question what is the problem. Both can talk to the public and tell us what it is?”

Amaechi did not say anything new. To use a local language-“even the blind can see, and the deaf can hear”-that the unbridled desire to appropriate the resources of the rivers is the main cause of the struggle for the ending between the godfather Wike and Godson Fubara, leaving a huge tribute to the political, economic, social and safety fabrics of the rivers.

If one can ask, what is the cause of the low intensity fight between Amaechi and his mentor and godfather, the former governor Peter Odili, during the Governorate of Amaechi? Wasn’t it beyond the resources of the rivers, for which Amaechi reported his intention of fighting dirty and odili had to escape from rivers until Amaechi is out of power in 2015?

Ditto for the duel between Amaechi and Wike-Vestito in the normal policy of the then Minister of State (Education) and following the Minister of Education-by assuming power from Amaechi, while in reality it is that he would obtain the part of the lion of the resources of the rivers after the mandate of Amaechi.

The difference, however, is that Wike did not see waiting for Amaechi to come out in peace. He deployed “Federal Power” under the former president of Goodluck Jonathan, to make the rivers ungovernable for Amaechi, who, as a wike ally under the political field of Odili, has strengthened the rise of Wike, appointing it as head of the staff and “appointing” it for a ministerial portfolio.

During the general elections of 2023, Wike challenged all the opposition, “greased” Fubara as a candidate of the Democratic Party of the peoples (PDP), practically tied him to the back and made him a campaign to become governor.

For the work of his Yeoman, Wike presumably “wants to dominate him on Fubara and makes him a puppet and a polena” in his government. It is the resistance of Fubara that has maintained the rivers that move for over 18 months (from October 2023).

To stem the crisis that slipped into a full anarchy, the president Bola Tinubu exercised the great stick on March 18, 2023 and proclaimed a state of emergency on the rivers, suspended, for six months, the executive and legislative weapons of the government and appointed a single administrator for the superintendents of the state.

Many things just three weeks later happened, the bombs of bombs of the bombs of the former head of the service (HOS), dr. George Nwaeke, against Fubara – whose thrust is the Fubara directive to burn the rivers house in 2023, and its plan to use militants to destroy oil installations in the rivers and the Niger delta that stating the egg of Nigeria.

Nwaeke, who claims to be a “ocular witnesses and witnesses” for some of the plans and actions of Fubara, had suddenly resigned and “disappeared” from the radar, just to present himself in a video press conference, leveling serious accusations against Fubara, his head of the staff, Edison Edie and the governor of the state Bauchi Mohammed.

In response, the counter-accusations issued of Fubara, rather than directly facing the accusations of Nwaeke, who bordered with the economic sabotage, the destruction of public property, the suffocation of the legislator and the plot to stop the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027. Below are the pointed accusations of Nwaeke:

• Fubara has directed the burning of the Svardi Assembly, using Edison Ehie, that the governor mobilized with “a lot of money”.

• The Fubara attempts to demolish the residential neighborhoods of the members of the Site of the rivers were avoided by a press conference held by the elderly and young people of sparrows and members of the National Assembly.

• Fubara procured the services of militants to bomb the gas pipelines, as part of the plot to break down the Tinubu government.

• Nwaeke claims to have observed several meetings between Fubara, his head of the staff and some militant leaders, with every meeting that ends with enormous sums of money paid to the participants.

• Fubara told Nwaeke that as Chief Security Officer of Rivers State and his brother (Governor Duoye Diri) is responsible for the state of Bayelsa, all the gas pipelines are under their care.

• Fubara said that at the appropriate time, they (he and Diri) would say to the boys (militants) what to do and finance was not a problem.

• Nwaeke claims to not be surprised when Fubara repeated the declaration in a public function that “I will tell the boys what to do at the appropriate time”.

• Fubara plans to start the destruction of oil structures from non -short -faced areas of Ogoni, Oyibo, Ahoda, to remove attention from IJAW and make it a state vision.

• That these actions will break down Tinubu and introduce a new president of the (who is said) the coalition of political parties, with a vice -president of IJAW.

• Fubara boasts of being the “David who will break down the Goliath (Wike) of the state of sparrows” and which is the support of the cream of the Crème cream in Rivers.

• Fubara told Nwaeke that he plans to use Ijaw to decide the next president of Nigeria.

• Nwaeke claims to sleep in the government chamber, Port Harcourt, but he felt uncomfortable when the governor Mohammed and other interested parties started at night visits to the state of sparrows.

• The co -opted governor of Fubara Mohammed in the plot against Tinubu and said to him (Nwaeke) who would have supported Mohammed or any other North for the president in 2027, with ongoing discussions.

• Nwaeke claims not to be disturbed by those who support Fubara, but are worried about the “Quantum of Rivers Resources” released to visitors who plan the fall of Tinubu.

• Nwaeke claims to be aware of several private meetings between the governor and the leaders of work in the rivers and the generosity distributed at each meeting to compromise the union of work.

• The media will be captured by paying heavily for the transmission time and keeping the influencers of social media and social critics known on their payroll.

• These plans represented the convictions of the organized media and public protests against the President and the National Assembly on the emergency rule of the rivers.

• That declaration of Emergency Regulations of Tinubu avoided a serious disaster in the rivers and Nigeria from the militants.

• Nwaeke wants the rivers a single administrator, the deputy admiral IBOK-ETE IBAS (RTD), to intensify his guards and be vigilant, since they are smoke and others continue to hatch their plans if not implemented.

At the video press conference, Nwaeke said: “I am not aware of what this revelation means, but I am doing it to free my conscience and warn those innocent people who are used to influencing the public feeling that there is more than meeting the eyes of the rivers.

“As a job and a key player in this administration from my position, who has worked closely with Siminilayi Fubara, it will be unfair to me to keep silent or not face some key factors that have influenced or influenced our state if we continue on this trajectory.

“Today I want to tell the rivers that the complex of the assembly chamber on Moscow Road was clearly shot down by Edison Ehie under the instructions of the governor Siminilayi Fubara. They challenge him to an open clash and I will light on it.

“If it had not been for the intervention of Mr. President, Nigeria would have had to face the worst economic sabotage and Rivers State would have been on fire. I thank the president for a rapid intervention in the crisis of the state of the rivers, in particular on the state of emergency that has been declared and entrusted by the national assembly.

“Those who love democracy and humanity will always protect humanity and democracy. Mr. President, you have just protected democracy and humanity in the state of rivers. Now I can sleep with my clear conscience.”

The accusations of Nwaeke against Fubara are heavy and harmful and require a direct and frontal refutation, point by point. But so far, Fubara has been scornful, labeling Nwaeke as “compromise” and not the caliber of the person who sits or discussed any of the alleged problems.

In a counter-states personally signed on March 29, 2025, Fubara said: “First of all, according to the statement that he (Nwaeke) was aware of my discussions and plans to support the alleged presidential offer of Bala Mohammed 2027, which is ridiculous that Dr. Nwaeke would have been part of any high-level political meeting as a head of the service, much more seated at night meetings, He gave, as Dr. Nwaeke would have been part of any high -level political meeting as head of the service, much more sitting on the night of the night attachment, as they say that Dr. Nwaeke would be part of any high -level political meeting as head of the service, much more sitting in the night night meeting, as he joined as the statements, as he was united as the things to do, as they were united like my statements, United as a recovery.

“The truth is that the whole world knew when the governor of the state of Bauchi, as president of the forum of the governors of the Democratic Party, visited the state and there was nothing secret on visits.

“It is also ridiculous for Dr. Nwaeke to say that he is aware of my meetings to encourage attacks on oil pipelines and other national goods in the state, since there was no time that I held a meeting with militants or any criminal group to destabilize the state. It is recorded that I was promoting to preaching peace in the state also in the face of obvious provisions.

“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised and whatever he is saying is aimed only at keeping his promise to those who may have paid or forced to lie against me.

“I ask all the well -intentioned Nigerians and the good people of the state of sparrows to ignore everything he said from Dr. Nwaeke, since they are simple attempts desperate to discredit me and my administration and undermine the peace process by Mr. President.”

Fubara followed the “Nothing Burger” with a series of WhatsApp messages, suggesting that Nwaeke was reaching Ehie “for funds and support in exchange for his loyalty”, since his ₦ 500,000 monthly salary was inadequate to meet his needs.

However, the negation of Fubara did not scratch the surface of the harmful accusations of Nwaeke against him. He must invalidate the accusations in a more organized format, such as a press conference, to throw the ball in the field of Nwaeke. Whatever short of this will support the doubts that he is clean and heroes his credibility and his public trust!
