FCT Minister, Wike Staged His Normal Media Chat Last Saturday In Portharcourt Where All Major Television and Radio Stations Joined For Over Two Hours was one of its jind as he reveled Revelations which where centred on His Runaway God-son, Fubara.

 

Wike Made alot of Claims And Allegations about his God-Son, Fubara, claiming he was mislead by his Political Enemies who's plans was to feed fat on The State Treasury. 

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said Rivers State Gov.Siminalayi Fubara’s biggest political mistake was attempting to build his own political structure too soon after assuming office.

Speaking during a media chat in Port Harcourt on Saturday, August 1, Wike said Fubara should have strengthened the political structure that brought him to power instead of trying to establish a separate base.

Wike, who served as Rivers governor from 2015 to 2023, played a key role in Fubara’s emergence as governor. However, shortly after Fubara assumed office, both men became embroiled in a prolonged political crisis that divided the state's political landscape.

The conflict saw lawmakers loyal to Wike initiate impeachment proceedings against Fubara before both camps later reached a truce. As part of the reconciliation, Fubara withdrew from the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary after initially being screened alongside Wike ally Kingsley Chinda. The governor later endorsed Chinda as his preferred successor, saying his decision was made in the interest of peace, unity and political stability in Rivers State.

Reflecting on the dispute, Wike said he had expected Fubara to build on the foundation laid by his administration to enable Rivers compete with Lagos in terms of infrastructural development. According to him, the governor instead sought to govern independently without recognising the political support that made his election possible
