The political crisis in Rivers State has taken a dramatic turn as Dr. George Nwaeke, the former Head of Rivers State Civil Service, accused suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of orchestrating the 2023 bombing of the State House of Assembly complex.
Shocking Allegations Against Fubara
Speaking to journalists on Friday, Nwaeke alleged that Fubara ordered the attack to prevent his impeachment by lawmakers loyal to Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
“I was at the government house when a bag of money was handed over to Edison for that operation, though I do not know the amount inside,” Nwaeke revealed.
Wife Denies Interviewee is Her Husband
In a bizarre twist, Dr. Nwaeke’s wife, Florence, has discredited the interview, claiming that the man speaking was not her husband.
“The person in that interview is not my husband! I sent him messages asking if he was under duress, but he has not responded.
His phone numbers are not going through. Nigerians, help me!” she cried in an emotional interview with Channels TV.
Florence further alleged that her husband was pressured into resigning after refusing to sign documents that would implicate Fubara.
More Explosive Claims From Nwaeke
In his interview, Dr. Nwaeke doubled down on his accusations, stating that Governor Fubara had also planned to destroy the residential quarters of the House of Assembly members.
“If not for the press conference held by Rivers youths, elders, and National Assembly members, another demolition would have taken place,” he claimed.
According to Nwaeke, Fubara expressed regret for not demolishing the Assembly’s alternative meeting hall before attacking their residential quarters.
“How can a leader destroy state assets and waste public funds over a needless ego fight?” Nwaeke questioned.
A Call for Clarity Amid Political Tensions
As these allegations unfold, political analysts say the crisis in Rivers State is far from over. The government is yet to officially respond to the claims, but the public remains divided over the true events surrounding the Assembly bombing and the former HoS’s resignation.
