BREAKING: Former Rivers Head Of Service Makes Explosive Revelations About Fubara

Dr. George Nweke, the former head of service in Rivers State, in a stunning press briefing, has dropped a bombshell, alleging that suspended Governor Siminilayi Fubara orchestrated the burning of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex and plotted to destroy oil facilities across the state.

According to Nweke, Fubara directed his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, to burn down the assembly complex to avoid impeachment. Nweke claims he witnessed a bag of money being handed over to Ehie for the operation.

The former Head of Service also alleged that Fubara planned to destroy the residential quarters of assembly members but was thwarted by a press conference held by Rivers youths, elders, and National Assembly members.

Nweke’s allegations don’t stop there; he claims Fubara boasted about using the Ijaws to decide Nigeria’s next president, leveraging his control over pipelines in Rivers and Bayelsa states.

The plan, according to Nweke, involved bombing oil facilities in non-Ijaw-speaking areas, removing attention from the Ijaw zones, and ultimately bringing down President Tinubu’s government.

Nweke also accuses Fubara of compromising the Labour Union through private meetings with the Labour leader and militant groups, accompanied by large sums of money.

He said, “You would recall that I was appointed as the head of service by our suspended governor, Gov. Siminilayi Fubara; let me also use this opportunity to appreciate him for giving me the opportunity to serve as the head of service.

“With the loads of misinformation on print and electronic media, I have chosen to put the record straight; I was not sacked, nor was I pressured to resign; I did it willingly from the depths of my heart. However, as an insider and a key player in this administration by my position, who worked closely with Siminilayi Fubara, it will be unfair for me to keep silent or not to address some key factors that have affected or will affect our state if we continue on this trajectory.

“I want to use this medium to thank Mr. President for a swift intervention in the Rivers State crisis, especially on the state of emergency that was declared and assented to by the National Assembly.

“You will recall that when the governor was suspended, as the head of service, I was the next in command, so I am not speaking from outside; I am speaking as an insider. If not for the intervention of Mr. President, Nigeria would have faced the worst economic sabotage, and Rivers State would have been up in flames.”

He continued: “First, it all started with the Rivers State House of Assembly, where the Governor, Siminilayi Fubara, directed his Chief of Staff (Edison Ehie) to burn down the assembly in a way to avert his impeachment. That evening, Edison was in the government house with two other boys, including the former Chairman of Obio/Akpor LGA, one Chijioke. I was there with them when a bag of money was handed over to Edison for that operation, though I do not know the amount inside.

“I want to tell Rivers people today that the house of assembly complex in Moscow Road was clearly brought down by Edison Ehie under the instructions of Gov. Siminilayi Fubara. I challenge him to an open confrontation, and I will throw more light on it. A day after that incident, I almost resigned, but I was very scared because I knew the power of a sitting governor, and he knew that I was aware of the whole plan and that I was discomforted with the unconscionable act—the deliberate posture of innocence and mien of a sheep.

“Another attempt was also made to destroy the residential quarters of the house of assembly members; if not for the press conference that was held there by Rivers youths, Rivers elders, and National Assembly members, that would have been another barbaric demolition in Rivers State.

“I came to realise that they actually wanted to demolish that second building because after some weeks, he personally told me that if he knew early he would have gone to pull down their hall before visiting the residential quarters of the assembly and that he didn’t actually know that they had such a beautiful hall where they are using now for their sitting. I was shocked, and I asked myself how a man who wants to lead his people is destroying his state assets and wasting public funds on a needless ego fight.

“Thirdly, I want to advise some key stakeholders who have condemned the state of emergency made by the President and confirmed by the National Assembly to retract their statements. I also understand that they are only seeing the surface. If the president did not take proactive steps, no one knows who would have been affected by the sinister plans that were cooking.

“While I thank Mr. President for the state of emergency that was declared in Rivers State for a period of 6 months, I will plead with him not to give up on Rivers State affairs because a lot is going on there with Governor Fubara. One of the factors that got me removed was when Governor Fubara told me that they would use the Ijaws to decide who would become the next president of Nigeria, and I asked him how that would work. Is it by votes or by what means?”

He added: “He clearly told me that he is the chief security officer of Rivers State, and his brother is in charge of Bayelsa State, and all the pipelines are under their care, and at the appropriate time, they will tell the boys what to do, and funding was not an issue. That was why, when he made that statement in his public function that “I will tell the boys what to do at the appropriate time,” I knew something was up and perhaps the time was near.

“He boasted to be the “David that would bring down the Goliath of Rivers State.” He has the backing of the crème de la crème in the state. The likes of Dr. Peter Odili and his family promised to use their contacts in the judiciary, including some members of their university council, to break new ground for him.

“The plan was to start from non-Ijaw-speaking areas to destroy oil facilities to remove attention from the Ijaw and make it have a statewide look. The Ogoni, Oyibo, and Ahoda areas were to be bombed first before the Ijaw zones. This would have brought down the government of President Tinubu and ushered in a new president from the coalition of political parties, with a vice president from the Ijaws.

“The media was to be captured by paying heavily for airtime and retaining the social media influencers and known social critics on their payroll. I am not unaware of what this revelation means, but I am doing this to free my conscience and warn those innocent persons who are used to sway public sentiment that there is more than meets the eye in the Rivers matter.

“Sometimes, I sleep over in the government house, but I started being uncomfortable when Gov. Bala Mohammed and some other stakeholders started nocturnal visits to Rivers State. I recalled that after one of such visits, he told me that he would support Bala Mohammed for president or any other northerner. That discussion is ongoing. Though I was not bothered about who he supported, I was more concerned about the quantum of state resources that he released to these visitors at each visit.

“Let me also draw the attention of the Nigeria Labour Congress to call the chairman of their Rivers State chapter to order to avoid politicising Labour. I am privy to several private meetings between the Governor and the Labour leader in the state, and the largesse that accompanied each meeting to compromise the Labour Union.

“More worrisome are several meetings between the governor, his chief of staff, and some militant leaders. The details of which meetings I am not privy to since I was not allowed into the meetings. However, each meeting ended with a huge sum of money paid to attendees.

“I wish to state categorically that Rivers people and indeed Nigerians are the beneficiaries of the declaration of the state of emergency rule in Rivers State and not Gov. Fubara or Minister Wike.”

The former head of service praises President Tinubu’s swift intervention in declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State, crediting it with preventing economic sabotage and chaos.

In a final warning, Nweke urges the sole administrator to be vigilant, citing ongoing sinister plans to destabilize the state.

These explosive allegations have sent shockwaves through Rivers State, with many calling for further investigation and accountability.
