Enough Is Enough, Wike, IGP Egbetokun Must Go – Timi Frank Sends Message To Tinubu

Enough Is Enough, Wike, IGP Egbetokun Must Go – Timi Frank Sends Message To Tinubu

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has said that the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike should be held responsible for the unrest in Rivers State.

Speaking via a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, Frank accused Wike and Egbetokun of complicity in the recent burning of two local council secretariats in Rivers State.

He conveyed his condolences to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

He called for the resignation of the IGP and Wike, insisting that the duo must be held accountable for the violence in the state.

Frank praised President Bola Tinubu’s directive for police intervention, but criticized the response as “coming too late” and biased in favour of Wike.

He claimed that the FCT Minister has been boasting that he has Tinubu’s blessings to wreak havoc in Rivers.

“Wike has been boasting that he has the President’s blessings to destabilise Governor Fubara’s administration.

“It is highly unfortunate that the President is being perceived as tacitly encouraging his minister to cause mayhem in Rivers State because he thinks it will benefit him in the 2027 presidential but this must stop.

“Enough is enough. Wike and the Inspector General of police must go. They must be held accountable for this arson. The perpetrators must be arrested and brought to justice.

“All patriotic Nigerians including former Presidents and heads of Labour and Trade Unions must speak up to save Rivers State and its oil facilities from destruction by these sponsored arsonists.

“President Tinubu must for once act as the Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the commander-in-chief of the All Progressives Congress and political stooges.

“The President swore to an oath to carry out his duties as President without fear or favour, but today it is glaring that he has taken sides with Wike against Rivers’ people,” Frank said
