As reported by The Punch on Tuesday, May 13, Dokubo claimed that the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, was “playing god” with his recent actions against his preferred successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state.
The Ijaw activist also accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of handing over “Rivers and Bayelsa states” to the ex-governor.
“He is now playing god. It is dead on arrival, all those things that he is doing,” Dokubo said on Monday, May 13.
He added:
“I advise my friend, President Bola Tinubu; what you are doing to all Ijaw, Ikwerre people in Rivers State (sic). You took Rivers state and gave it to one man.”

Meanwhile, in another twist to the ongoing crisis, Fubara announced that he would probe and prosecute Wike's government in Rivers state.
