According to him, Wike is fighting the Governor over the state’s allocation. 

Nwata who alleged that Wike demanded to be given 25% of Rivers state allocation during an interview on Arise TV, claimed that Governor Sim allegedly offered to give 10% of the allocation to his predecessor but he allegedly refused.

He alleged that Governor Sim is fighting back because it is natural for people to push back when oppressed.

Nwata further claimed that Wike took control of Rivers state after Governor Sim’s election. He alleged that the minister of FCT appointed almost all the Commissioners and also appointed Sim’s Chief Security Officer.
