Wike Fires at Opponents, Predicts Collapse and Betrayal

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has criticized lawmakers who support those who are betraying him.

“These politicians will also be betrayed,” Wike said at the launching of the Rivers State chapter of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors’ office in Port Harcourt.

“If you are a senator, member of the House of Representatives, minister, or governor and you condone betrayals, people will continue to betray you in life,” Wike stated. Your share is betrayal.

“You won’t be able to speak on the day you are betrayed. There, you will pass out and they will declare that a certain person has passed away.

“You have sown that seed, and you will harvest whatever you sow. Betrayal will follow you everywhere because you are sowing it.

“You won’t make it through your second term as governor if you want to install a successor and encourage treachery.”

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors’ Rivers State chapter, headed by Wike, has said that political figures in the state can rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu without a governor’s endorsement.

Wike reportedly made the claim on Saturday at the opening of the organization’s Port Harcourt branch.

The FCT minister, who spoke at the event, emphasized that Rivers leaders have the political clout and clout to independently mobilize support for the President.

“We are working for President Tinubu,” Wike stated. A governor is not required to organize us. We are capable of working on our own. There are senators, members of the Assembly, chairman of local governments, members of the National Assembly, and party chairmen from the APC and PDP.

Real political support, he continued, comes from inside conviction rather than outside guidance.

He said, “We have mobilized ourselves to demonstrate our commitment because true support doesn’t need to be brought by someone – you have to make the commitment yourself.”

Wike went on to say that the move was a sign of solidarity among Rivers State’s political players, pointing out that local leaders had actively sworn loyalty to the President.

Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, and Wike have been at odds over who controls the South-South state’s political system.
