A Non-Governmental Organization, Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership has accused Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike of allegedly planning to impose the Accountant General of the State, Fubara Similari as Governor in the upcoming governorship election in the state.
It also alleged that if the imposition of Mr Similari failed, the governor would replace him with Chief Felix Obuah as governor in the 2023 race for the Brick House.
The NGO, in a statement by its President, Chizy Enyi (Esq) at the weekend, said it owed the people credible information “as it relates to the running of the government and its abnormalities.”
According to the statement, “The Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership has in good authority, that Governor Wike is set to IMPOSE one Mr Fubara Similari, the Accountant General of Rivers State, a man on the wanted list of EFCC for the embezzlement of #117b, as the PDP Governorship candidate for the 2023 general election in other to continue to cover the fraud.
“Remember, in 2018, the said Accountant General of Rivers State was on EFCC wanted list for cash withdrawals of billions of Naira at the counter and all attempts to arrest him for questioning were stopped by Gov. Wike. Instead, Mr Fubara Similari relocated to Rivers State Government House to date.
“In the Rivers South-East Senatorial District, where the said Fubara Similari came from, Gov. Wike has strategically edged out the Ogoni’s by giving them the Senatorial ticket to make the way for the Opopo born civil servant, who turned politician to be rewarded for his fraudulent activities.
“Our major concern is that both the Fubara Similari and Rivers State Government, have not denied the fraudulent allegations, rather Gov. Wike relied on the court judgment, restraining EFCC from prosecuting officials of Rivers State Government, to say that Mr Fubara Similari will not appear before the EFCC operatives. What a shame.
“We are also aware, that in other to pacify the Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Isaac Kamalu, who may have known about the release of a whopping sum of #294,000,000.00 of Rivers State taxpayer’s money, for the purchase of Governorship forms for 14 persons, Gov. Wike drafted him into the race as he continues to keep secret the financial records of Rivers State Government. We are finished.
“Alternatively, if the imposition of Mr Fubara is been resisted by the PDP members, Gov. Wike is also positioning to impose the Chairman of RIWAMA, Chief Felix Obuah who we know his antecedents and relationship with the most dreaded militant mankind has ever produced (LATE DON WANNY), believing that with the existing fear of the UNKNOWN, PDP members will have no option.
“Our worry is not about who gets the governorship ticket of the PDP, but whether should evil and fraudulent persons be always allowed to be compensated and rewarded for doing evil at this time that people are more enlightened to differentiate between good and bad. Should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid, HENCE THIS PRESS RELEASE.”
