The newly elected Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chijioke Ihunwo, has removed the name of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, from the administrative block of the council.
Wike who is from Rumuepirikom community in Obio Akpor LGA of the state and a former local council chairman of the area, had his name boldly engraved on the administrative building of the council secretariat.
The new chairman says Wike has caused the local government area much trouble and had his name replaced with a former politician and activist in the state, the late Obi Wall.
Posting a video of the signage replacement on X, Ihunwo;
“We have changed Wike’s name in the admin block of Obio/Akpor Council, and replaced with the name of SENATOR DR. OBI WALI.”
Inhunwo and 22 other newly elected LGA chairpersons elected during the Rivers local council election were recently sworn in by the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
