Sir Siminialayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State who is suspended from office, has questioned Florence George Nwaeke, the wife Dr. George Nweke, who served as his previous Head of Service over what he did to deserve the huge lies that was cook against him.
This took place during a phone call between Fubara and Nweke’s wife. Florence called Fubara, shed tears and begged him to save her husband from the individuals who are threatening him.
“Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble, I don’t know if he’s alive,” she cried.
Fubara asked, ” Are you sure you are not aware of his action? You know why I’m asking? There’s nothing that’s happening that he doesn’t share with you. Where have I offended him and why will he cook this levels of lie against him after everything I’ve done for you people?
Florence answered that she didn’t know anything about it and emphasized on her husband safety, she begged for help.
IREPORT247NEW had earlier reported that Nweke’s wife has asserted that her husband was forced to organize a press release in which he made damaging claims against Siminalayi Fubara.
The distraught wife told journalists that she has been unable to get in touch with her husband since he departed Rivers for Abuja.
Florence said, “When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God’. The next thing I saw this night (Friday night): people were calling me and said he got an interview. I said, ‘What interview? Interview for what?’ Not until I saw things flying on the internet that he granted an interview. What happened? I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband.’
“So I sent him a message. I said, ‘Are you under duress?’ I sent him a message. I said, ‘Have they kidnapped you? Talk to me now. Why are you not talking to me?”
During a Friday news briefing, Nweke accused Fubara of ordering bombing of the state House of Assembly facility in 2023 to avoid impeachment by members supporting Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.
He claimed to have seen Edison Ehie, a former Assembly leader who later became Fubara’s Chief of Staff, receive a bag of money to attack the Assembly Complex on Moscow Road in Port Harcourt.
In his resignation letter, which was sent last week, Nweke made the allegation that the suspended governor had planned to remove President Tinubu from office and had ordered the bombing of the state House of Assembly complex in 2023.
