Former Special Adviser to Ex-Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike and civil rights advocate, Opunabo inko-Tariah, has weighed in on the political crisis in the state.
Inko-Tariah, in an interview with Arise News on Thursday, November 30, godfatherism is the major issue between Wike and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
According to the former aide, the problems were festered by Governor Wike’s desire to control Rivers state and government while still being in charge as the Minister of the FCT in Abuja.
The civil right advocate also stated that it is incontrovertible that Wike controls both the APC and PDP in Rivers state.
Her noted that this is reflected in the recent appointment of the new committe in the Rivers state APC, adding that the officials were all Wike's men.
Speaking further, Inko-Tariah described Wike as a selfish politician and an opportunist who wants to make the state ungovernable for Fubara. He concluded that Wike's antics so far is "a grand delusion."
He said: “Wike doesn’t even have the clout that the world thinks he has. He is an opportunist. If he thinks that he is going to make the state ungovernable for Fubara, then it’s a grand delusion.“
The former aide specifically noted that Wike is angry with Fubara because the governor sacked the minister's appointtee who are not qualified.

Wike's claim to the structure of Rivers politics is laughable, shows he suffers from eclipse of reasoning and poverty of logic.
