PHOTO: Gov.Sim’s supporters demolish Wike’s statue in Obio-Akpor LGA

A viral video, circulating the internet spotted some pro-Fubara’s supporters celebrating after destroying the statue of Barrister Nyesom Wike, the current FCT Minister in his home town, Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers state State.

This is coming after Dailytab24 reported heavy shooting at the premises of the LG Council, following a move by the former chairman of the LGA, Hon Allwell Ihundah, to access the office.

Fubara had in a statewide broadcast on Tuesday morning, bid the elected chairmen and councilors farewell, warning that their period to occupy their positions legally has ended.

But shortly after the broadcast, the Chairman of PHALGA reportedly came to the council secretariat to pick some of his property, but he was stopped by the angry youths.

This heat started when the ruling chairmen blatantly refused the court ruling recognizing a three-man House of Assembly, which annulled the tenure extension granted by the 27-member Assembly loyal to Wike and insisted on an extra six months in office

The video which was circulated on X by the Port-Harcourt People @AskPHPeople, had the caption, “Pro-Gov. Sim Fubara’s supporters destroy StatuMinister of FCT, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike at the heof Obino/Akpor Local Government Council.”
