Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has pledged that no one will stop him from thwarting Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s re-election ambition in 2027.

Speaking during a visit to Rivers State’s Ahoada West Local Government Area on Sunday, the Minister stated that Fubara violated the deal twice, insisting that the mistake of 2023 would not be repeated.

Wike emphasized that during his tenure as Rivers State Governor, the state battled the federal government on various matters and prevailed, claiming that the state was in control during the previous administration.

He said “I heard people saying that they will call me and give me instructions. Let me tell you, there is nothing like instruction as far as Rivers State is concerned. Nobody will call me.

“You had the first agreement, somebody reneged, second agreement, he reneged, then which call will you accept again? We will not make that mistake again.

“It has nothing to do with me as a person. As a minister of the Federal Capital Territory, I’m very comfortable.

“It is about the people. When I was governor, Rivers State was respected nationally. When I speak at that time, you will know that Rivers State is in charge.

“When I was governor, I challenged the Federal Government and we won. Now that the opposition has collapsed, everybody is now shouting on your mandate, why didn’t you shout on your mandate since?”

According to ZINGTIE, Wike and Fubara recently rekindled their feud as the incumbent governor prepares to run for reelection in 2027.
