The Yoruba Council Worldwide (YCW) has called for the immediate removal of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, accusing him of contributing to political unrest in Rivers State.
Speaking with journalist on Sunday, October 6, the YCW President, Hassan Oladotun, accused Chief Wike of nepotism and abusing his federal position to settle personal scores, particularly in the FCT.
He said other reasons for the call for Wike’s removal from office, is his role in the political unrest in Rivers State, insisting that Wike’s continued presence in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet is a “distraction” that poses a threat to democracy and peace in the Niger Delta.
According to him, “Wike is self-destructive. He has turned Rivers State into a theater of political war and a battlefield. His actions are demarketing President Tinubu’s government, and this kind of grandstanding has no place in an egalitarian society. Mr. President should be cautious of such a desperate figure.”
He said: “Wike’s actions are steeped in nepotism, and he’s using his federal position to fuel personal vendettas. His excessive mannerism in the FCT is causing unnecessary tension, even as he continues to show off his power in Abuja,” he said.
