Newly Elected LG Chairman Orders Removal Of Wike’s Name From Council Building

Newly Elected LG Chairman Orders Removal Of Wike’s Name From Council BuildingThe newly elected Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State, Chijioke Ihunwo, has officially removed the name of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, from the administrative block of the council secretariat.

Naija News recalls that Ihunwo, along with 22 other LGA chairpersons elected during the recent Rivers State local council elections, was sworn in by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. In the election, the Action Peoples Party (APP) secured 22 council seats, while the Action Alliance won one. However, both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opposed the election process.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Ihunwo revealed that Wike’s name, previously engraved on the council’s administrative building, has been replaced with the name of the late Senator Dr. Obi Wali, a former politician and activist in the state. Ihunwo shared a video showing the removal of Wike’s name and its replacement with Wali’s.

He wrote, “We have changed Wike’s name on the admin block of Obio/Akpor Council and replaced it with the name of SENATOR DR. OBI WALI.”

Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, hails from the Rumuepirikom community in Obio Akpor LGA and previously served as the local council chairman.
