According to the NUF, Wike’s recent controversial remarks against governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who support Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers and his (Wike’s) threat to unleash crises in various states are unacceptable.
Blueprint newspaper and The Nigerian Tribune noted the NUF’s recent demand.
The statement by the north-east forum partly reads: “His (Wike’s) declaration that governors interfering in Rivers State “will never sleep in your state” is dangerous.
“Therefore, the NUF demands the immediate sack of Nyesom Wike as the FCT Minister.
“His actions have demonstrated that he is unfit to hold any public office, let alone one as significant as the FCT minister.”
The statement concluded by asking President Tinubu to ‘choose between upholding the rule of law and aligning with an irredeemably compromised politician like Wike’.
Legit.ng reports that Wike has been enmeshed in a political feud with his successor and estranged political mentee, Fubara. Despite efforts by President Tinubu to settle the rift, it has refused to abate.
Wike is not only fighting Fubara, top PDP chieftains remain in his bad books.
