Babatunji Wusu –
Daniel Bwala, a lawyer who supported Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has demanded that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike be fired immediately.
Bwala made the statement in response to the Rivers lawmakers’ scheme to remove State Governor Simi Fubara from office after a falling out with Wike.
Following a fire on Sunday, the governor had gone to the Assembly complex on Monday morning. However, security personnel opened fire on him and used tear gas.
Bwala stated in a post on X that Fubara should use his executive authority to drive Wike out of the country because the nation’s democracy does not tolerate authoritarianism.
The adviser to Atiku also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to exercise caution around Wike before he damages the reputation of his administration both domestically and globally.
In his letter, he stated that Sim Fubara need to drive Wike out of the city by using all of his executive authority. Authoritarianism is not recognized in our democracy. Fubara was the one who cast the vote to become Rivers State’s executive governor and chief security officer. It is recommended that @officialABAT handle Wike with utmost caution before Wike damages the reputation of his administration both domestically and globally. Wike should be fired by PBAT right away.
