Yoruba Council Worldwide-Calls for Immediate Removal of-FCT Minister Nyesom Wike For 3 Strong Reasons

The Yoruba Council Worldwide (YCW), led by President Hassan Oladotun, has demanded the immediate removal of Nyesom Wike from his position as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The council, representing the interests of the Yoruba people, accuses Wike of contributing to political instability and unrest in Rivers State and raises concerns about his influence in Abuja. In a recent statement, the council outlined three key reasons for this call.

Allegations of Nepotism and Abuse of Power

The YCW accuses Wike of using his federal position for personal gain, particularly within the FCT. The council claims that Wike is engaging in nepotism by favoring individuals close to him and his political allies in appointments and decision-making. This, they argue, undermines the integrity of governance and breeds resentment among those who feel excluded. Wike’s actions, according to the YCW, suggest that he is using his ministerial position to settle personal and political scores, rather than focusing on national service. These actions, they believe, threaten the stability of the FCT and erode public trust in the federal government.

Contributing to Political Unrest in Rivers State

The council also highlights Wike’s role in the political unrest that has plagued Rivers State, particularly during the recent local government elections. According to the YCW, the elections in Rivers were marked by violence and chaos, with some describing the situation as a “war zone.” The council views Wike’s involvement in these events as detrimental to democracy and a violation of the principles of free and fair elections. By allowing such disorder to occur under his watch, Wike is accused of fostering an environment where political violence is tolerated, further contributing to instability in the region.

A Distraction to President Tinubu’s Cabinet

The YCW argues that Wike’s continued presence in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet is a significant distraction to the administration’s efforts to promote peace and development in Nigeria, especially in the Niger Delta. The council believes that Wike’s controversial actions and divisive politics in Rivers State have the potential to affect his performance as FCT Minister. This, they assert, could lead to unrest not only in Abuja but across the country. The council stresses that President Tinubu’s administration should be focused on unity and progress, and Wike’s involvement is seen as a hindrance to these goals.

Conclusion

In light of these concerns, the YCW has called on President Tinubu to take swift action and remove Wike from his position as FCT Minister. The council maintains that Wike’s behavior and past actions in Rivers State are incompatible with the responsibilities of a federal minister and pose a threat to the stability and integrity of both the FCT and the wider Niger Delta region. They urge the president to prioritize the nation’s unity and governance by addressing this issue promptly
