Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has challenged President Bola Tinubu and the APC to summon Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike to order, lest his desperate attempt at administration go awry.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Frank reportedly criticized Wike for allegedly organizing a plot to remove Rivers State Governor Siminilaye Fubara from office.
He denounced the governor being subjected to water cannons and tear gas by the police.
He said that by tearing down homes and taking away landed property ownership in Abuja, Wike was undermining Tinubu’s government.
He claims that in order to run for president in 2027 on the Peoples Democratic Party platform, Wike intends to destroy the APC (PDP).
Frank maintained that Fubara’s failure to follow Wike’s orders—who is purportedly chasing the state’s funds and allotments—made him an adversary.
“Wike has already begun tearing down houses and taking away land ownership in Abuja to infuriate Nigerians, incite hatred toward Tinubu, and depict the APC government as evil and anti-people,” the speaker declared.
“Wike would have wrecked his government to position himself to run for president in 2027, so by the time Tinubu realizes it, it will be too late.
Wike has begun preparing for the presidency in 2027 and is only interested in governing. He would thus stop at nothing to get Tinubu’s approval, but if they do not bring him to order, he will ruin the administration.
“Let Wike formally join the APC and become a card-carrying member of the party if he likes Tinubu and believes in his administration. However, he has declined to comply, as his goal is to demolish the APC so that he may run for president in 2027 on the Peoples Democratic Party platform (PDP). Due to his nefarious purpose, he has declined to join the APC.
“Tinubu and the APC should not only exercise caution, but also make a strong call to Wike to put an end to this craziness in Rivers State, as it would not go well otherwise.
In his support of Fubara, Wike asserted that he was the most qualified candidate for governor. However, out of nowhere, Fubara has turned against him, a despot who is only interested in extracting money from Rivers, and is no longer willing to follow his orders.
Additionally, he urged governors from all political parties to support their counterpart in Rivers State in his effort to overthrow Wike’s autocracy and Godfatherism in that state.

Frank also advised Fubara to keep up his strong resolve and perseverance in opposing Wike’s nefarious schemes, assuring him that light would ultimately triumph over darkness.
“If they allow Wike to succeed in using federal might to illegally remove Fubara from office, then sitting governors will ultimately become vegetables like local government chairmen in states because former governors who worked hard to become governors will take a cue from Wike and use it to harass them out of office anytime they don’t do what they want,” he continued. It’s not just about the governor of the Rivers, then.
