The leadership of the North East Unity Forum has called for the sack of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Abubakar Kabir, the convener of the forum in a statement issued on Tuesday, September 3, urged President Bola Tinubu to sack Wike as a minister following his recent threat to “put fire in the states” of governors supporting his successor, Sim Fubara.
According to Kabir, Wike’s threat to states and governors is a dangerous provocation that threatens the very fabric of Nigeria’s democracy and national stability.
He said that such inflammatory rhetoric is unbecoming of a public official and cannot be tolerated.
Kabir said, “Therefore, the NUF demands the immediate dismissal of Nyesom Wike as FCT Minister. His actions have demonstrated that he is unfit to hold any public office, let alone one as significant as the FCT Minister.
“President Tinubu must choose between upholding the rule of law, decency, and common sense, or aligning with an irredeemably compromised politician like Wike, who is determined to create violence and instability to remain in the public limelight, to the detriment of Nigeria’s interests, he said.
He said the minister’s actions have demonstrated that he is unfit to hold any public office, let alone one as significant as the FCT Minister.
He further urged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party to ensure that Wike is sanctioned for his utterances and actions
