Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has berated the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, over failure to reinstate the Paramount Ruler of Emohua, His Royal Highness, Eze Ohna Sergent Awuse, as Chairman of the Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.
Naijaonpoint recalls that in 2024, Fubara replaced Eze Ohna Awuse, a close ally of Wike, with Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, as the Paramount Ruler of Apara Kingdom in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
However, speaking during a special Christmas visit to his supporters in Emohua Local Government Area, at the palace of His Royal Highness, Ohna Sergent Awuse, who also serves as Chairman of the South-South Traditional Rulers Forum on Sundau, Wike slammed Fubara.
Wike revealed that Awuse had fallen ill and gone into a coma, during which the state government removed him from the chairmanship and appointed a replacement.
He said, “Chief Awuse was the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.
“Chief Awuse was sick, and went into coma. Instead of praying to God, how does this man come out of this, the next thing they did, they removed him as Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.
“Go and reinstate Chief Awuse, go and reinstate him. Up till now, it is difficult.
“You tell me that I’m a fool? I’m a fool?
“Well, there’s always time for wrestling. Do you understand me? You know when wrestling starts. The main people don’t come out at that time.”
