Sim Fubara Accuses Former Head Of Service George Nwaeke Of Being Paid To Testify Against Him

Suspended Governor Sim Fubara Unveils Explosive Evidence

In a bold move, Sim Fubara, the suspended governor of Rivers State, has released screenshots of private conversations between George Nwaeke, the former Head of Service (HoS), and Chief of Staff Ederson Ehie. These chats seem to suggest that Nwaeke might have been swayed by financial incentives or coercion to testify against Fubara. The drama unfolds as Fubara fights back against allegations that have rocked the state's political landscape.

George Nwaeke's Public Accusations Against Fubara

According to Naija News, Nwaeke credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State with averting a potential disaster. During a press conference in Port Harcourt, Nwaeke leveled serious accusations against Fubara, labeling him as the mastermind behind the recent political chaos in the state. Nwaeke alleged that Fubara had orchestrated the destruction of public assets, hinting at a sinister agenda that could have destabilized the region. He also clarified that his resignation was voluntary, emphasizing that it wasn't due to external pressure or dismissal.

Fubara Hits Back with Personal Statement

Not one to sit quietly, Sim Fubara struck back with a personally signed statement on Saturday. In it, he dismissed Nwaeke’s accusations as laughable and urged Nigerians to ignore them. Fubara accused Nwaeke of being compromised, suggesting that his testimony was driven by financial incentives or coercion from unnamed parties. "The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me," Fubara stated, adding a layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga.
