BREAKING: Rivers LG Chairman Removes Wike’s Name From Council Building [VIDEO]

Chijioke Ihunwo, chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area (LGA), has removed former Governor Nyesom Wike’s name from the administrative block of the council secretariat.

The development comes amidst the supremacy battle between Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The two leaders have been at odds over the control of the political structures in the state.

Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) hails from Rumuepirikom in Obio-Akpor LGA. His name was previously on display on the administrative block.

However, as of Sunday morning, Wike’s name has been replaced with Obi Wali’s, a renowned politician and activist in Rivers State who passed away in 1993.

Recall that Fubara’s loyalists had joined the Action Peoples Party (APP) weeks before the recent LGA elections.

Of the 23 chairmanship seats in the state, the APP won 22.
