Activist lawyer Maduabuchi Idam on Thursday berated President Bola Tinubu for commending the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, during his presidential media chat.
Idam said Tinubu should have cautioned Wike over his utterances, which have inflamed the political crisis in Rivers State and included threats against some state governors.
Recall that Wike and Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State have been embroiled in a crisis over the political control of the state.
Amid the crisis, governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have thrown their support behind Fubara.
Displeased with the interference, Wike had threatened to “set fire” in the state of any governor who intervenes in the crisis in Rivers State.
However, during the presidential media chat, Tinubu described Wike as a “goldmine” and a “performing Minister,” adding that he “doffed his hat” to him.
