Rivers State Political Drama: Chijioke Ihunwo Calls for IGP’s Sack Amid Tensions
In a shocking turn of events, Chijioke Ihunwo, the CTC Chairman of Obio Akpo, has publicly called for the sack of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), accusing him of bias and using the police to harass politicians loyal to Governor Siminialayi Fubara. The political atmosphere in Rivers State has been tense lately, with various factions clashing over power and influence.
Ihunwo, who is known for his outspoken nature, made the call during a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the state capital. He accused the IGP of siding with certain political figures and using the police to intimidate their opponents. Ihunwo’s allegations come amid a backdrop of political unrest in the state, with factions loyal to Governor Fubara and those aligned with other political figures vying for control.
“The IGP has shown bias in his handling of the political crisis in Rivers State,” Ihunwo stated during the press briefing. “He has used the police to harass and intimidate those who are loyal to Governor Fubara, while turning a blind eye to the actions of his political opponents.”
Ihunwo went on to appeal to President Bola Tinubu to intervene and put the IGP in his place. “We call on President Tinubu to call the IGP to order and ensure that he remains neutral in the political crisis in Rivers State,” he said. “The IGP’s actions are tarnishing the image of the President and the Federal Government.”
The call for the IGP’s sack has sent shockwaves through the political landscape in Rivers State, with many wondering what the implications will be for the ongoing power struggle. The IGP has yet to respond to the allegations, but the situation is being closely monitored by political observers and analysts.
