Comrade Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused President Bola Tinubu of orchestrating a plot to remove Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Frank described a recent Federal High Court ruling that seized the state's monthly allocations as part of a "sinister scheme" to force Fubara into the APC or oust him from office.
"This is why the President has remained mute despite the gross violation of the Constitution by the courts and police in Rivers state," Frank said in a statement.
He claimed that Tinubu's anger stems from Fubara's refusal to join the APC, following advice from former Governor Nyesom Wike, who allegedly informed Tinubu that Fubara's leadership could jeopardise his 2027 presidential ambitions.

Frank warned, "All security agencies and federal government institutions are against Fubara because they have been directed to ensure that Fubara succumbs to the President's wishes."
He cautioned that any attempt to destabilise Rivers State would be met with fierce resistance from its people.
Frank urged the international community to intervene, stating, "A stitch in time saves nine. Let the international community step in now before the crisis boils over."
