mFCT’s Inister Nyesom Wike expressed dissatisfaction with the State of Emergency in Rivers State.

He said he prefers to evacuate Governor Forbala directly.
It was six months after President Bola Tinubu cited by extended political unrest and recent security issues, including pipeline attacks, suspension of Fubara, his deputy NGOZI ODU and all state legislators.
Tinubu then appointed Deputy Admiral IBOK-ETE IBAS (RTD.) as the sole administrator to temporarily oversee the governance of the state.
Wike at River State University from 2015 to 2023 was not mean to his feelings during media parley in Abuja on Friday.
“As a politician, I declared unhappy with the urgent rule of River State. I hope to evacuate the governor directly. But for the good of the country, the president did the right thing to prevent anarchy in the state.”

“This is in court, but people have to tell the truth. The Governor is gone. It’s not my position to make it good for the governor. As a politician, my business is not about making him feel comfortable, which is why there is power to fly.”
The consequences between Wick and Forbala (once the political allies) escalate into a full-scale power struggle involving state institutions.
Tensions led to 27 MPs rebelling against all Progressive Conferences (APCs), the suspension of the conference and the emergence of factional spokespersons.
