Speaking in Abuja on Friday during a media parley with select journalists, Wike said the president’s action saved the state from political collapse, describing it as a necessary step to restore order, though he prefers an outright removal of Fubara as governor.
He supported the appointment of a sole administrator to lead the state, calling it a justified response to months of crisis between the governor and the state assembly.
