Rivers crisis: Wike let me down – Former appointee criticises FCT minister

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has drawn criticism from Austin Tam-George, a former Rivers State commissioner for information, for allegedly destabilising the state.

During his Monday appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, the former commissioner who worked under Wike’s administration gave a speech.

Disappointed with Wike’s actions, he accused his former employer of masterminding the state’s never-ending political crises.

I find the minister’s actions to be quite disappointing. It is him who is arranging this. It is he who has proposed a plan to topple the government.

“I am quite disappointed in the minister because I served as the information commissioner in the last administration. He remarked, “I expected him to, you know, concentrate on his mandate.

Tam-George asked the outgoing governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, to concentrate on his new role as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory and let her get on with her job.

“In the FCT, he has a well-defined administrative mandate. The FCT has one of the poorest public schools in Nigeria.

He’s got a lot on his plate to get the job done. He’s not doing that, though. The former commissioner said, “Instead, he’s concentrating on how to destabilise River State, and obviously, Rivers people are going to resist him every time.”
