On Monday, Emeka Beke, the former Chairman of the dissolved Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), urged FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to grant Governor Sim Fubara the space to carry out his responsibilities.
Beke expressed concern over the continuous departure of investors from the state amidst the ongoing crisis.
During an appearance on the Arise TV Morning Show, he cautioned Wike against dismantling the APC as he had previously done with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Beke: “Fubara has been elected as Governor of Rivers State, Wike should allow Fubara to carry out the mandate given to him by Rivers people.
“The state lawmakers who said they joined the party, there is a process for them; if you want to join a party, you start from your unit. Are we in anarchy where people will not follow a process?
“If they don’t want to do governance, they should stop and not be deceiving people. You go to your unit, ward, then state. You can’t just stand up and say you are decamping from PDP to APC.
“Sim Fubara is governor of Rivers State, and they should allow him to govern, let there be peace. During the last eight years of Wike, there was too many crises in the state. Is it what we are going to go back to in another eight years?
“Fubara is governor, so they should allow him to function. It’s not about party but governance, investors are leaving the state daily because of one crisis or the other.
“He should face his assignment in Abuja and allow Rivers to have peace, he has destroyed PDP he wants to destroy APC?”
