He alleged that one of the cabinet members, who is from Rivers state, has been holding secret meetings with others on how to carry out the plan.
Ehie made the claim while addressing youths in Port Harcourt during an empowerment programme.
He, however, assured that Fubara and the people of Rivers State were in support of Tinubu, stressing that the cabinet member should wait until after the president’s eight-year tenure.
According to him: “ My dear Port Harcourt people, Mr president is interested in ensuring that Nigeria develops, the governor is working in-hand with Mr president to ensure that Rivers develop, and we enjoy a peaceful relationship between the centre and the grassroots.
“We are aware that some persons in the cabinet of Mr president are doing everything possible to hijack the state due to the meetings they have been having to contest against Mr president in 2027.
“The governor has continued to emphasized that Rivers State is for Mr President, so any Rivers son that wants to challenge Mr president should wait till after 2031. The president’s 4+4 is settled, Fubara’s 4+4 is also settled.”
