Former governor of Rivers State and minister of the federal capital territory, Barrister Nysom Wike, has fingered his successor, governor Sim Fubara in the chaos that led to the burning down of Rivers State House of Assembly Complex.
On the 30 of October, the hallowed chambers of the Rivers State House of Assembly was set ablaze by suspected political thugs following move by lawmakers suspected to be loyal to Wike to commence an impeachment process on the Leader of the House, Hon. Edison Ehie, and governor Siminalayi Fubara.
While speaking during a media chat on Friday, Wike insinuated that the burning of the assembly might be connected to Fubara following the plot by some lawmakers to impeach him.
“When they were about impeaching you, did you call me to say ‘Sir, they want to impeach me’?
“Is that why you sent people to go and burn down the hallowed chamber? Is the impeachment for only one day?
“Is the impeachment process a one-day affair? Then you raised ethnic politics. We’ve never had it like this before…”, Wike said.
