In the video, Wike emphasized that while godfatherism may be prevalent in Lagos State, it would not be tolerated in Rivers.

“It may happen in Lagos, but not in Rivers. We are different,” Wike stated. “As a governor, I will come and go. The day my tenure ends, by the grace of God, I will go. If you think what’s happening in Lagos will happen here, it will be difficult.”

He further stressed, “You can’t keep insisting on being the godfather of a state. That’s the problem, and it’s not possible.”

This video has resurfaced at a time when Rivers State is grappling with a significant political crisis, as tensions between Wike and the current Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, have escalated. The two political heavyweights are now locked in a battle over the control of the state’s leadership structure.
