Former state secretary of state George Nwaeke has made allegations against him and is asking Nigerians to discredit them.
In the wake of the political crisis that is roiling the Rivers, Mr. Nwaeke made accusations against Fubara as well as that he had conspired with militants to bomb oil pipelines in the state.

However, Fubara described Nwaeke’s comments as “laughable” in a statement he signed personally early on Saturday.
The governor claimed that “Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only intended to fulfill his promise to those who may have coerced or paid him to lie against me.”
“I urge all well-meaning Nigerians and the good people of Rivers State to disprove everything that Dr. Nwaeke has said because it is all they are doing to denigrate me and my administration and undermine Mr. President’s efforts to bring about peace.”
GOV FUBARA’S FULL STATEMENT IS HERE:
I adore NWAEKE’S CRUTCHES OF GOVERNMENT. FUBARA
A press briefing from the former head of service, Dr. George Nwaeke, was broadcast on Channels Television on Friday, March 28, 2025.
Ordinarily, I would not have responded to his assertions, but I would have rectified the false impression that they might make of the people and the dissatisfaction it will likely cause in both the state and the nation.
First, in light of his claim that he was aware of my discussions and plans to support Bala Mohammed’s alleged 2027 presidential campaign, it is absurd that Dr. Nwaeke would attend any high level political gathering, much more than he claimed, and that he was present at one of my alleged nighttime gatherings with militants. No such meetings have ever taken place, I suppose.
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum’s visit to Bauchi State was not made public, and the entire world was aware of it.
There was no time I met with militants or any criminal organization that would destabilize the State, so it is absurd for Dr. Nwaeke to claim that he was aware of my meetings to promote attacks on oil pipelines and other national assets. Despite some glaring contradictions, it is known that I have consistently preached peace in the State.
In reality, Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and what he is saying is only intended to fulfill his promise to those who may have coerced him into lying to me.
I urge all well-meaning Nigerians and the good people of Rivers State to disprove everything that Dr. Nwaeke has said in an effort to denigrate my administration and undermine Mr. President’s efforts to bring about peace.
