The ongoing political discord in Rivers State between current Governor Sim Fubara and former Governor Nyesom Wike has taken a new turn with the remarks of prominent activist and political figure, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari. In a recent interview with Arise News, Dokubo-Asari warned of serious consequences if any attempt is made to remove Governor Fubara from office.
Dokubo-Asari's Warning to Opponents
In his interview, Dokubo-Asari spoke out strongly against the reported efforts by Wike and his allies to oust Governor Fubara. He made it clear that such actions would not be taken lightly. “What Wike and his people are trying to do is to remove Fubara, thinking that nothing would happen,” Dokubo-Asari said. “But I am saying that if you remove Fubara, something will happen.”

Relationship with President Tinubu
Dokubo-Asari further emphasized that his stance on this issue is not motivated by any personal ambition or political gain. Instead, he explained that it is driven by his principles and commitment to stability in Rivers State. The political leader also shared his long-standing relationship with Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, noting that he has known Tinubu since his days in the military era, long before Tinubu’s ascent to the Senate or the presidency.
"I supported Mr. President because I knew him before he became senator and president, and, God willing, I will also know him when he ceases to be president. But this is not about me," Dokubo-Asari stated, reinforcing that his involvement in Rivers State politics is a matter of principle rather than personal interest.
A Call for Stability in Rivers State
