TimesNow.com.ng reports that this allegation follows a controversial Federal High Court ruling that has halted the monthly allocations due to Rivers State.
In a statement cited by TimesNow.com.ng on November 1, in Abuja, Frank condemned the court’s decision, describing it as part of a larger strategy by the President to force Fubara to join the APC or face removal.
The APC chieftain, however, questioned Tinubuâs silence amidst the perceived constitutional violations in Rivers state.
Frank claimed that federal institutions, including security agencies, have been mobilized against Fubara to compel compliance with the Presidentâs wishes.
Frank further warned of dire consequences if the federal government continues its actions against the state.
Frank urged President Tinubu to refrain from meddling in Rivers State affairs, cautioning that any attempt to disrupt the stateâs financial allocations or forcibly remove Fubara would provoke widespread resistance.
Frank stressed that the people of Rivers and the Niger Delta region would not tolerate such actions.
Frank also called on the international community to intervene and pressure the President to halt his alleged plot against Fubara, stating that the ongoing crisis could jeopardize operations of International Oil Companies (IOCs) in the region.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 and 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has cautioned the judiciary against setting Rivers state on fire.
Atiku’s warning comes in the wake of the judgment on Wednesday, October 30, wherein a federal high court in Abuja ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to halt all payments to the state.
