Port Harcourt, Abuja – The Niger Delta Development Force has threatened to shut down oil installations in the region over alleged attempts by the FCT minister, Byesom Wike, to undermine Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubaraâs administration.
The Niger Delta militia group urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to caution Wike for alleging intimating Fubara for months.
The group warned that it would no longer tolerate intimidation of Governor Fubara.
According to The Punch, the group spokesman, Justin Alabraba, made this known in a statement issued on Sunday, October 27.
The group expressed anger over an alleged Wikeâs plan to stop local government allocations to the state through a court ruling on Monday, October 28.
Alabraba said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the crisis rocking the Rivers state assembly took a new dimension as Fubara suffered a major setback in court.
This is as the court on Friday dismissed Rivers state government’s attempt to halt a lawsuit against Fubara, deeming the request frivolous and unwarranted.
The suit, filed by a faction of the Rivers House of Assembly loyal to FCT ministers Nyesom Wike, seeks to shut down Fubara’s expenditures.
