Rivers Politics On Fire: Wike Reveals Tonye Cole’s Sh*cking Words About Amaech

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed details of a private conversation he once had with the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Wike disclosed that Cole approached him shortly after news broke about his rift with Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

According to Wike, Cole expressed interest in working with him. When Wike asked about his loyalty to former Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, Cole allegedly dismissed the matter, saying:
“He doesn’t care about Amaechi and Amaechi cannot tell him what to do.”

Wike mocked Cole’s recent criticisms of him, saying:
**“I saw a clip where Pastor Tonye Cole said I’m confusing. He should remain confused. At my level of politics, we are not on the same level.

The moment he realized I had issues with Fubara, he came to my house. We sat by my swimming pool, and he said he wanted us to work together. When I asked about his loyalty to Amaechi, he told me he doesn’t care about Amaechi. Imagine such a character.”**

Meanwhile, in a separate appearance on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, Tonye Cole lamented Rivers State’s declining fortunes. He argued that while Rivers and Lagos once shared equal status, Lagos had surged far ahead due to better governance and political stability, while Rivers had fallen behind because of regressive politics.
