He called on the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to promptly replace the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State due to the perceived biased conduct of his officers against the elected Governor of the state.

Frank asserted that Wike’s dismissal was imperative to prevent him from tarnishing Tinubu’s administration and damaging the reputation of the APC.

He accused Wike of initiating actions to cause outrage among Nigerians and foster hatred against Tinubu and the APC’s administration.
