Fubara’s Commissioner for Youth, Chisom
Gbali, has revealed a plot to extend the duration of the emergency rule imposed on Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
Chisom Gbali stated this unequivocally during an interview with Arise Television on Monday.
Excerpt:
“There is a plan to extend it (referring to the emergency rule). Before the end of the six months, they want to incite problems that will make the President make another pronouncement. Of course, you know if there is any pronouncement, it calls for the end of the administration.”
“In politics, there is what we call body language. You will see that if you study the body language, that is the plan โ where they set aside the subsisting projects, wanting to design a budget. But you know someone who was sent to establish peace even wants to install sole administrators at the local government level.”
In his speech, Gbali fingered the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, as the mastermind of the extension.
“The former governor, who is the FCT minister, and his cohorts โ the assembly members, the local chairmen whose tenure elapsed, as it were โ are the people I am talking about. Because they are not at rest with the achievement of the governor, they want to distort the administration,” he said.
Gbali spared no rod as he directed words to the president citing that there were other more precarious issues the nation is battling with.
“All these issues are geared towards 2027, and we are so surprised that His Excellency will be meddling in this kind of matter when there are more burning issues,” he said.
“People are dying every day in Plateau State, but there is no state of emergency. But in Rivers State, there was a declaration of emergency when we did not have anybody hurt. In Rivers State, everyone is going about their duty, and that is why everyone is calling on the President to rescind his decision.”
The People’s Insight recall that Vice Admiral Ibas has resumes office hours after the president suspended the governor of Rivers State, his deputy and house of assembly members.
The suspension has however been a topic for hot debates and national dailies with many giving their cents as the days roll by.
