Former governor of Rivers State and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated that his political career will be effectively “buried” if Governor Siminalayi Fubara secures a second term in office. Wike made the remark as he reflected on the intense political rivalry between him and Fubara, suggesting that a continuation of Fubara’s leadership would diminish his own influence and standing within the political landscape.
Wike’s comments highlight ongoing tensions within Rivers State politics, particularly between factions aligned with him and those supporting the incumbent governor. The statement has stirred discussion among political observers about power dynamics, loyalty, and strategy ahead of future elections.
By openly declaring the potential impact of Fubara’s re-election on his political relevance, Wike has underscored the deep divisions and high stakes involved in the state’s internal politics. His remarks are expected to shape conversations among supporters, opponents, and political analysts as the debate over leadership and governance in Rivers State continues.
