Nyesom Wike, the former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), made a bold statement claiming that all his political enemies combined cannot pose a threat to him. Despite facing political battles with State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other PDP governors, Wike confidently asserted his dominance at a reception in Port Harcourt.
Accompanied by the G-5 group and other prominent political figures, Wike emphasized his strong support from the Ijaw ethnic nationality, refuting claims of opposition within the community. He warned outsiders to stay out of Rivers State politics and condemned attempts to disrupt the event with violence.
Additionally, Wike challenged Governor Fubara’s claims about initiating the Port Harcourt Ring Road project, stating his own role in its development. Chief Ferdinand Alabraba praised Wike as the most celebrated Rivers politician and expressed gratitude for his support in elevating their son to governorship.
Wike’s unwavering confidence and impactful leadership style continue to solidify his position as a significant political figure in Nigeria’s landscape.
