Wike Lists Political Backers, Declares “We Don’t Need Governor” in Rivers PDP Showdown
By Jamisi Newsline
Abuja, Nigeria – Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has publicly named key figures backing his political camp while issuing a blunt dismissal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s relevance to his faction.
Speaking at a political gathering, Wike declared: “We don’t need the governor,” signaling a sharp escalation in the ongoing power struggle within Rivers State’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The statement marks Wike’s most direct challenge yet to his successor, as the former governor continues to assert dominance over the state’s political structure months after leaving office.
Political observers view the public listing of supporters as a calculated move to consolidate Wike’s base and isolate Governor Fubara’s camp ahead of future electoral contests.
The development raises fresh concerns over the stability of the PDP administration in Rivers State and potential realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
