You Replaced Him While He Was In A Coma!” — Wike Explodes At Fubara In Fresh Political Storm

In 2024, Fubara replaced Eze Ohna Awuse, a close ally of Wike, with Eze Chike Worlu Wodo as the Paramount Ruler of Apara Kingdom in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

Speaking during a special Christmas visit to his supporters at Awuse’s palace in Emohua Local Government Area on Sunday, Wike condemned the action. He noted that Awuse had fallen seriously ill and was in a coma when the state government removed him from the chairmanship and appointed a replacement.

Wike said, “Chief Awuse was the Chairman of the Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council. He was sick and went into a coma. Instead of praying for his recovery, the next thing they did was to remove him from the chairmanship. Go and reinstate Chief Awuse; go and reinstate him. Up till now, it is still pending.
