Mystery Surrounds Ex-Rivers HoS: Wife Raises Alarm Over Bizarre Interview
A Cry for Help: Wife of Former Rivers HoS Questions Husband’s Whereabouts
The wife of former Rivers State Head of Service, George Nwaeke, has made a desperate plea to Nigerians over the suspicious circumstances surrounding her husband’s recent public appearance. Florence Nwaeke raised concerns after watching an online interview where her husband allegedly made explosive allegations against the Rivers State government. However, she insists that the man in the interview is not her husband or that he was speaking under duress.
Vanishing Act: George Nwaeke’s Disappearance After Resignation
Florence Nwaeke recounted how her husband informed her upon his arrival in Abuja but subsequently became unreachable. “When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God,’” she stated. However, her relief was short-lived when she later came across an interview featuring her husband. To her shock, she felt something was deeply wrong.
> “I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband,’” she repeated in distress.
She sent multiple messages to him, questioning if he was being held against his will. “I said, ‘Are you under duress? Have they kidnapped you? Talk to me now. Why are you not talking to me?’” Yet, her messages received no reply, and his phone lines became unreachable.
Explosive Allegations: What Did George Nwaeke Say?
Before his sudden disappearance, Nwaeke had accused suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of orchestrating violent political maneuvers. Among his claims:
Fubara allegedly planned to back Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed for the 2027 presidency.
The governor purportedly encouraged militants to attack oil installations in Rivers State.
He accused Fubara of ordering the 2023 State House of Assembly bombing to prevent his impeachment.
These accusations, made during a Channels TV interview, have sparked a political firestorm, with many questioning Nwaeke’s motivations and whether he was coerced into making such claims.
Political Fallout: Fubara Dismisses Allegations
Governor Fubara swiftly rejected Nwaeke’s claims, stating that the former Head of Service had been compromised. In a strongly worded statement, he said:
> “The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me.”
To support his argument, the governor released screenshots of alleged chats between Nwaeke and his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, where Nwaeke reportedly sought financial support.
A Desperate Plea: Florence Nwaeke’s Emotional Appeal
Beyond calling out for public intervention, Florence Nwaeke made a direct appeal to Governor Fubara, urging him to ensure her husband’s safety.
> “Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble. He is in trouble,” she pleaded.
Her emotional distress has resonated with Nigerians, with many demanding clarity on Nwaeke’s safety and well-being.
The Bigger Picture: Political Tensions in Rivers State
The unfolding drama highlights the deep-seated political crisis in Rivers State, where governance and power struggles have frequently led to accusations, counter-accusations, and security threats.
As the public watches closely, key questions remain unanswered:
Where is George Nwaeke now?
Was he forced to make the allegations?
Is his life in danger?
Until these concerns are addressed, the mystery surrounding his disappearance and interview will continue to fuel speculation, intensify political tensions, and keep Nigerians on edge.
