Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Sunday, raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to secure a court injunction to block releases from the Federation Account to the 22 Local Government Councils in Rivers state.

Frank who made this disclosure in a statement in Abuja, said Wike and his co-travelers that are opposed to the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, resorted to the plot following their failure to stop local government elections in the state which held successfully on Saturday the 5th of October, 2024.

According to him, Wike through his proxies will tomorrow (Monday) or any day soon, approach a Federal High Court in Abuja with spurious writ with prayers that monthly funds allocation to the 22 LGAs in Rivers State should henceforth be withheld with claims that the elections were held in violation of a court ruling.

However, the Bayelsa-born political activist called on Wike to abandon the plot in the interest of the people of Rivers State and find alternative means to settle his rift with Governor Fubara.

He also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to allow Wike to dent his democratic credentials with such a retrogressive court action seeing that local councils in Lagos state suffered similar fate during his administration as Governor through the devious orchestration of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Frank who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, also warned the Judiciary especially Judges and Justices always out to do Wike’s bidding for personal gain not to grant any frivolous prayer brought before them on this matter.

Besides, he condemned the partisan role the police have played so far in the
political crises rocking the state and called on them to protect all Rivers’ people instead of taking sides with the Ruling All Progressives Congress.

He said: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot afford to fold his arms and watch as Wike plots to reverse democracy in Rivers State and by extension Nigeria.

“The anti-democratic tendency of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who seized funds meant for local councils in Lagos during Tinubu’s administration as Governor must not be allowed to repeat itself in Rivers State.

“As we speak, Wike is putting finishing touches to plans to secure a kangaroo court order to stop monthly funds allocation to local government councils in Rivers State. This must not be allowed to happen.”

He warned that such a move could lead to economic disruption in Rivers State in particular and the country in general as well as reversal of of democratic gains the country has made since 1999.

“Any action capable of truncating democracy in the country similar to ongoing scenarios in some West African States must be avoided.

“The people of Rivers State have elected their council chairman and councilors in line with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court to democratize all LGAs in Nigeria and any attempt to truncate democracy in Rivers would be resisted by the people,” he said.

While urging Fubara not to be distracted by the evil machinations of his traducers and political opponents, he congratulated the people of Rivers for successfully electing their council representatives and urged them to redouble their support for the Governor.

Wike doesn't have that power. Only the court. If Fubara has done the right thing he will receive allocation.
Secondly asking for alternative route to settle rift with Fubara is going against the wishes of Fubara who rubbished the apology of some Ijaw leaders who extended olive branch some few weeks ago.

Wike will never do that. This is a baseless allegation

Then you don't know Wike or maybe you do and you are just trying to be mischievous.

As it stands now… Tinubu needs Fubara than Wike
Wike has made more enemies than Tinubu has made in 30 years of his political journey

If Tinubu supports Wike.. he will lose rivers state


Let him do anything

Truth

Fubara is in charge and in government

The flea has perched on wikes scrotum .. and it biting hard

Fubara has won already

Timi Frank is just making noise. Wike will do the needful.

Wike is the current minister of FCT

Anything is possible under this Tinubu government. 
 
We won't be surprised to see a rogue federal high court judge issue an injunction to stop allocations to the local government. 
 
The Supreme Court has ruled that the only basis for withholding local government allocation is only in the event there's no democratically elected local government executives. 
 
I just hope Tinubu won't fall for this same thing he criticised and fought Obasanjo for when the latter withheld local government allocation accrued to Lagos state

You are reasoning like an ipobidense. Wike in an attempt to bring Fubara to Tinubu camp is in the centre of their differences .
And you think Tinubu will drop a man who has sacrificed so much for him to his detriment.

Na so this Timi Frank don dey cheap like this now.

.All these to make the governor & indigenes of River state a seccond hand fiddle in the hands of a drunkard & cocain sniffer in the name of godfatherism & olive branch..

Wike is a man of integrity and I know he will do the right thing.

Timi Frank should stop panicking.

The most important thing is that an election has been conducted.

So everybody should go back to their region and mind their business.

We know how to handle Wike, weather he agrees to settle with Fubara or not.

Like every other minister serving Bola Ahmed Tinubu his Boss.
Nothing special about Wike anymore

I know say na him next move...wicked man. Na allocation money dey pain am

Anither563:

if wike can secure a court injunction to block all LGA council gates for months now...then he can do anything.

Nobody can do that to rivers state, government money comes from there,

when this happens, all the newly elected LGA chairmen should ensure that no single cup of crude oil leaves their LGA.

lets treat madness with extreme madness.

It's the kind of thing Wike would like to do.
We are even expecting court injunctions by tomorrow to stop the swearing-in of the elected officials.
But let him bring it on; he is in for another round of humiliation.
The guy man over-rates himself. He thinks he's the smartest politician and keeps boasting "I'll teach them politics", but alas, he's finding out it's been a wrong assumption all the while!

We, the good Rivers people are rejoicing over his pains!😄😄😀

This will be deadly

You forgot that Tinubu is a Yoruba man right?

Right now Wike is likened to be patience Ozokwo of nollywood. But we all know she always confesses and dies or get paralyzed after all her evil deeds in movies.

Wike have no power to do that.
