According to Annkio Briggs, a political stakeholder in Rivers State, the state can operate effectively without Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This statement was made by Briggs on Thursday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a Channels Television program monitored by ZINGTIE, where he answered questions.

She addressed the issue of political tension in the state, where the State Assembly had begun impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.

“What is it? He keeps talking about an agreement. What’s the agreement? Do you know the agreement that Nyesom Wike is shouting about? Agreement, agreement. Everybody is shouting, agreement, agreement. The lawmakers are shouting.

“His supporters are shouting, no Wike, no Rivers state. You can’t say that. How can you say that without one man (Wike) a state will not exist? Where is that political, and where is it acceptable?

“Well, it may be acceptable anywhere else. But I don’t think such is acceptable by the people of Rivers State. All I do know is that the majority of Rivers people are in support of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

“His support is organic. And therefore, if Today he finds himself for whatever reasons, he has decided as the governor of River State to move to the APC to survive as a governor. The organic support he has is fully behind him.

“I may not be a member of APC, but I am a daughter of Rivers State, and when it comes to the elections in Rivers State, I know whom I’m going to vote for. It will depend on what the person is offering and the circumstances,” she said.
