Some Rivers State elders have come under fire from Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, for their assaults on the minister while endorsing Sim Fubara, the suspended governor.

Some elders in Rivers State have become surveillance spirits, obsessed with Wike’s whereabouts in the state, according to Olayinka.

He was reacting to statements made by Ada George, a former state governor, who claimed that Wike was responsible for the political situation in Rivers State.

George asserted at a news conference that Wike was in charge of Rivers State’s declaration of a state of emergency and the appointment of administrators for each of the state’s 23 local government area.

Olayinka denounced these remarks and said that Fubara was “acting like an emperor” while seniors like George were playing the ostrich.

A statement by Olayinka read in part: “Now that Fubara’s lawlessness has resulted in the imposition of emergency rule, the same elders who failed to stand and act like real elders are sobbing like children whose most prized toys have been taken away. It is funny and unfortunate.

“They have even turned themselves to monitoring spirits, monitoring when Wike comes to Rivers State and when he leaves as if it has now become illegal for a minister to visit his home state and associate freely with the people.”
