FCT Minister Wike’s Rift With Protégé Fubara Deepens As Thugs Burndown Another Prominent Rivers State Secretariat (VIDEO) Written By Oshiobugie John- The escalating political feud between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reached new heights, as reports confirm that another local government secretariat in Eleme LGA has been set ablaze by suspected thugs. This comes on the heels of a similar attack on the Ikwerre LGA secretariat, Wike’s home turf, further intensifying the power struggle between the two political heavyweights.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The tensions boiled over after the recent Rivers State Local Government elections, where the little-known Action People’s Party (APP) clinched a sweeping 99% of the available seats. This victory is widely seen as a product of Governor Fubara’s backing, signaling his defiance against Wike’s preferred candidates and his grip on the state’s political landscape. Despite APP’s minor presence historically in Rivers State, their success highlights Fubara’s growing influence in opposition to Wike, his former political mentor.

Wike, who handpicked Fubara as the PDP gubernatorial candidate over a year ago after he served as Secretary to the State Government (SSG), is now locked in a fierce public battle with his protégé. While the exact cause of their fallout remains unclear, the mounting attacks on key local government infrastructure signal that their rift is rapidly spiraling into a full-blown political crisis in the state.
