The newly appointed local government administrator for Obio/Akpor, Dr. Clifford Ndu Walter, was captured on video personally tearing down a billboard bearing the image of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The footage, which surfaced on social media on Saturday, shows Dr. Walter—who was sworn into office just a day ago—leading the physical removal of the billboard at the local government secretariat.
Governor Fubara was suspended in March under controversial circumstances by President Bola Tinubu. In his place, a sole administrator, Ibok-ete Ibas, was appointed to oversee the state for an initial period of six months.
Rather than de-escalating tensions, Ibas’s tenure has seen sweeping changes, including the suspension of Fubara’s political appointees and the installation of new local government administrators across all 23 local government areas.
Critics argue that the appointments appear to consolidate power in favour of former governor Nyesom Wike, Fubara’s political rival and a central figure in the ongoing crisis.
A political tug as an administrator of a local government. Nigeria democracy is in trouble.
Better shut up your mouth when you don’t have anything better to say ok. When former chairman of the local government under Sim Fubara destroyed Nyesom Wike’s banner, did you condemned it? So stop speaking with both sides of your mouth ok.
Though I am not in support of vandalism, but that was exactly what the former l.g.a did to Wike image in the l.g.a.
So it’s a case of tit for tat and all this is not necessary in our politics.
This is not right, are we for peace
The idiot is swollen headed. He’s not ashamed to have the title Doctor added to his name, yet he assumes the role of a political thug. The removal of the the billboard of the legit Governor of the state as as first official assignment after the so-called inauguration may be the only accomplishment throughout the illegal tenure of this fool. As for TINUBU, the devil sent him as pun to Nigeria. But by 2027, God will have mercy on Nigerians when at the election, TINUBU with his pains, will be roundly thrashed and humiliated. TINUBU will go down, as he is already going down in history as the very worst person to lead Nigeria. As for Wike, he remains as one whom the gods will destroy. What happens to such characters is for the gods to make them mad. Time will tell
As it stands now, the scoreline is 1-1 draw
