Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Concerned Rivers Citizens, CRC on Tuesday said some of its members suspected to be loyalists of the state\u2019s former governor, Nyesom Wike have been expelled.<\/p>\n

The group, in a statement issued by its President, Jackson Thomas and Secretary-General, Kelvin Eguono said the alleged impostors were expelled for their selfish and malicious activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are shocked that these individuals would go to the extent of blackmailing Governor Simi Fubara in an attempt to please their paymasters while ignoring the real issues on the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make it clear that we are not part of their scheme and do not support their actions,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The group emphasised that it is a non-partisan body aimed at promoting good governance and accountability, stressing that they are not loyal to either Wike or the incumbent governor, Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to promoting the truth and the rule of law in Rivers State, and we will not be swayed by personal interests or political affiliations,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and Fubara have been in a face-off since 2023, birthing a political crisis that has continued to linger despite the intervention of President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n
