Fubara stated that an intelligence report reaching him revealed that plans have been concluded to frame up his allies.

“There is a report I got that with what is happening, that some persons have been penciled down for arrest because they are close to me.

“I would not be surprised if tomorrow I hear they have been declared wanted. I can tell you. It’s as bad as that.”

TheTalk.NG reports that Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the current minister of the federal capital territory (FCT) are battling each other for the control of political structure in the state.

Wike was opposed the conduct of the local election and encouraged his supporters in the oil-rich state to boycott the exercise, citing a court order. However, the election was held nonetheless.

In the election, the lesser-known Action Peoples Party (APP), whose platform Fubara’s loyalists contested, won 22 chairmanship seats while Action Alliance (AA) claimed the remaining one seat.
