Idahosa accuses Fubara of inflammatory comments, asks presidency to call Rivers gov to order
BENIN CITY – A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State and former Commissioner for Information, Hon Charles Idahosa on Tuesday accused Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state of making inflammatory statements that are treasonable and capable of throwing the state into anarchy and called on the presidency to call him to order.
Idahosa was reacting to Fubara’s comment on Monday while commissioning a government quarters where he called on the youths in the state to be on standby for whatever action they would need in the course of implementing the decision of the Supreme Court on the political crisis rocking the state.
In a chat with journalists, Idahosa also carpeted some former governors of the state and elders who he said were supposed to guide Fubara but alleged that they were more interested in what they would get from him than the interest of peace in the state.
According to him, “What concerns me now is how the governor is still making inflammatory comments that the youths should be on standby, that he will soon tell them what to do.
“Did anybody know him as an accountant in the civil service and he wants to burn the place? The other time they said they would go and burn oil wells, and militants would come out. That is exactly what Obaseki did here in Edo and he has run away, he was boasting Nigeria will burn and he will lead it and this is exactly what Fubara is doing.
“After the Supreme Court judgment, is it that nobody called him to order? It is very disappointing, I am calling on the presidency to caution them because most of these things coming from their mouths are treasonable.
“Are his children among the youths that he is keeping on standby? They made you a governor and overnight you won’t let the country rest, you won’t let Rivers State see peace.
“If you have a problem with the man, the right way to go is the court, and the highest court in the land has settled the matter saying Martin Amaewhule should go back to the house and he is telling the youths to stand by? What does he mean by that, the security agencies should come in, because he has immunity does not mean he cannot be investigated?
“Look at the situation in Lagos, has it not been settled?”
He said the presidency should call Governor Fubara to order. “Let Fubara bring out a tape where he campaigned for himself to become governor, he should show us a tape where he addressed PDP supporters to say vote for me. Wike did everything for him none of these people with him ran around for him and within a short time he has shown ingratitude like Gdwin Obaseki.”
