Abuja, FCT – Comrade Timi Frank, former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described Senate President Godswill Akpabio as unqualified to judge the character of Rivers state Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Frank’s assertion follows Akpabio’s recent criticism of Fubara, whom he accused of “treachery and betrayal” against the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

Frank questions Akpabio’s past actions
In a statement sent to TheTalk.NG on Sunday, December 15, Frank reminded Akpabio that his character and past actions render him unqualified to judge others.
“Akpabio has betrayal in his DNA, alongside Minister Wike. Both of them have castigated the APC in the past, only to turn around to wine, dine with and praise the same party. What should we call that? Is it not strange that Akpabio has suddenly become the mouthpiece of Wike, being birds of the same feather?” Frank said.
Frank also highlighted Akpabio’s history of alleged betrayal, including his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC while serving as minority leader in the 8th Senate.
Frank advises Governor Fubara to remain focused
Frank, who serves as Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), urged Governor Fubara to remain steadfast and focused on the issues that matter most to the people of Rivers State.
“We urge the public to disregard Akpabio’s baseless accusations against Governor Fubara and instead focus on the issues that matter most to the people of Rivers state,” he said.
Wike and Fubara’s long-running political battle
The rift between Wike and Fubara is not new, as the two have been embroiled in a long-running political battle.
Wike, who previously served as governor of Rivers state, has been at odds with Fubara, his successor, over issues of political loyalty.
The feud has led to a divided government in Rivers state, with Wike’s loyalists in the state legislature opposing Fubara’s administration.
