Amid the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, former Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has issued a stern warning to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, declaring, “You’re already down 2-0, more to come.” The statement highlights the escalating tension between the two leaders, who were once political allies.
The rift between Wike and Fubara has deepened in recent months, leading to a polarized state assembly and widespread political instability. Wike’s comments suggest that the governor may face further challenges as the crisis unfolds.
The Rivers State political landscape has been fraught with disputes over governance, party loyalty, and control of the state’s political machinery. Analysts warn that the ongoing conflict could hinder development and governance in the oil-rich state.
Governor Fubara has yet to respond to Wike’s latest remarks, but the situation remains tense as stakeholders call for dialogue and resolution to prevent further escalation.
