Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has raised alarm over an alleged plan by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to block the release of funds from the Federation Account to 22 local government areas in Rivers State.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Frank claimed that Wike and his allies, who are reportedly opposed to the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, have devised this plan after failing to halt the successful local government elections held in the state on October 5, 2024.
