Wike Explodes: ‘They Want To Reap Where They Did Not Sow!’ — Names Three Political Enemies In Rivers Crisis

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has publicly identified the three politicians he is currently battling in Rivers State.

This revelation follows the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and several House of Assembly members amid the declaration of a state of emergency in the oil-rich state.

In an interview with BBC Pidgin on Saturday, Wike, who is locked in a fierce political feud with his former ally, Governor Fubara, accused Celestine Omehia, Abiye Sekibo, and Austin Okpara of attempting to benefit from efforts they didn’t contribute to.

“These are people who want to reap where they did not sow,” Wike declared. “I’ve defeated them before, and I will defeat them finally.”

Wike further alleged that the trio—Omehia, Sekibo, and Okpara—are fueling the crisis between him and Fubara, adding that he is determined to stop their political ambitions.

Despite the tension, Wike reaffirmed his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his continued support for President Bola Tinubu. Speaking in the interview, he insisted that he would not be forced out of the party he helped build.

“I won’t run away—I built this house,” he said defiantly. “You’re the one that will leave, not me. I won’t allow anyone to destroy what I created. I’m staying put.”
