Wike Slams Rivers Governor Fubara Over ₦600 Billion Disclosure, Warns Nigerian Politicians Eye State Funds
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has criticised Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara over his public disclosure of ₦600 billion in the state’s coffers. Wike described the announcement as politically naïve and dangerous, arguing it has attracted interest from politicians seeking to profit from the funds rather than serve the people. He warned that such disclosures embolden political actors from other states and fuel “political 419” practices, where endorsements and appointments are traded for financial gain. Wike also dismissed recent visits and praises from national officials, insisting they were motivated by the newly revealed state funds.
