Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of refusing to reinstall His Royal Highness, Eze Ohna Sergent Awuse, the Paramount Ruler of Emohua, as Chairman of the Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.

Wike claimed that Awuse became unwell and fell into a coma, after which the state government withdrew him from the chairmanship and appointed a replacement.

He made the statements on Sunday during a special Christmas visit to his supporters in Emohua Local Government Area, at the palace of His Royal Highness, Ohna Sergent Awuse, who is also Chairman of the South-South Traditional Rulers Forum.

“Chief Awuse was the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.

“Chief Awuse was sick, and went into coma. Instead of praying to God, how does this man come out of this, the next thing they did, they removed him as Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council.

“Go and reinstate Chief Awuse, go and reinstate him. Up till now, it is difficult.

“You tell me that I’m a fool? I’m a fool?

“Well, there’s always time for wrestling. Do you understand me? You know when wrestling starts. The main people don’t come out at that time”, Wike added.

Eze Ohna Awuse was succeeded by Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, the Paramount Ruler of Apara Kingdom in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

Governor Fubara appointed Wodo in 2024.

Eze Awuse is a close associate of Nyesom Wike.

During the special Christmas visit, the monarch praised Wike as “a dependable ally,” saying, “Emohua owes you everything.”

He also applauded President Bola Tinubu’s achievements, pointing out that the naira has regained value and is now in demand by other countries.

The monarch also added that they would travel anywhere the FCT Minister asked them to go and support whomever Wike asked them to support.
