A source, close to Edison Ogerenye Ehie, who resigned as the factional Speaker of the State House of Assembly has spoken concerning rumors of his appointment by Governor Siminalayi Fubara as his Chief of Staff.
Daily Trust reported on Thursday, January 4, that Ehie was set to replace Chidi Amadi, a loyalist of Neysom Wike, as the Chief of Staff to Governor Fubara.
The anonymous source explained that the rumoured appointment is likely to open another phase of crisis between Fubara and the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
As quoted by the newspaper, the source said: “His rumoured appointment as Chief of Staff to the governor will open another phase of crisis between Fubara and the minister of federal capital territory because the present Chief of Staff is Wike’s kinsman and was appointed by the minister.
“So, removing him and bringing Ehie will open another phase of the war between Wike and Fubara.”
Will this new appointment lead to another phase of war between Fubara and Wike? Let us know in the comment section below!
