Victor Giadom, the National Vice Chairman (South-South) of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, cannot achieve any electoral success without the support of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Giadom emphasised Wike’s dominance in Gokana politics,
asserting that the minister’s influence is unchallenged and essential for any
political success in the area.
He described Wike as a “dependable leader” in Rivers
politics and stated that Wike remains the only dominant political figure in
Gokana.
“I guarantee, on behalf of my brothers, that the Gokana
people are for Wike and Tinubu and nobody will challenge Wike’s influence in
Gokana.
“Gokana is a ‘no go area’ for anybody, even Governor Fubara.
For him to win anything in Gokana, he must pass through Wike,” he said.
Former Senator Magnus Abe also expressed Gokana’s loyalty to
Wike and President Bola Tinubu, urging Tinubu not to campaign in Gokana as
their support is assured.
Their comments highlight the renewed political tension
between Wike and Fubara over control of Rivers State’s political structure.
On Monday, Wike rejected Fubara’s claim of being the leader
of the APC in Rivers State.
He also warned that sudden support for President Tinubu does
not guarantee a party ticket in the 2027 elections.
