Former Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that the fight between suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is about money sharing.

Amaechi who served as Minister of Transport in the Buhari administration, said this in an interview with DW Africa on Saturday, March  29. He said the emergency rule imposed on the state by President Bola Tinubu was unconstitutional.

 

According to him,

‘’The fight between the current governor of Rivers State and the FCT minister is about sharing money. If not, what is the quarrel?Nigerians don’t dislike corruption anymore. I’ve not seen anybody on the street querying what the problem is. Can both of them speak to the public and tell us what the problem is?

We are now denied democracy. Rivers State is the only state in the country currently not enjoying democracy. They have imposed military rule on us.

Secondly, the president acted outside the Constitution. Section 188 states how a governor can leave office, either by death, resignation, or impeachment. It didn’t say that one day you wake up and a man called the president of Nigeria will throw you out of office, which makes democracy unstable.”

Traditional Nigerian cuisine

Amaechi alleged that the President had a hand in the situation in Rivers State because he wanted to wield power by ousting governors who may not support him in the 2027 general election.

“Rumours are everywhere that if any governor is not careful, the president will remove you. So the Rivers issue is about sharing money and 2027 politics.

If the President said that the pipe that exploded was the reason why he tagged Rivers unstable and insecure by declaring a state of emergency, what about the other parts of the country where there is insecurity?”

Is the President saying that they should impose an emergency rule on him? They can’t because he is a democratically elected President. There are insecurity issues in the North East and North West, even in the South East and South South.

The governor has no responsibility for the blown pipes in Rivers. Security responsibility rests solely on the President. Why punish a man who did not commit any offence?”he said
