CurrentReport Blog The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has criticized governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who are backing Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara. Speaking at a grand reception organized by the Rivers Ijaw Peoples Congress in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike declared that he is superior to all his opponents within the party.
Wike, addressing the crowd, responded to the support shown to Fubara by PDP governors including Adamawa State Governor Umaru Fintiri and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, both members of the former G5. He dismissed their opposition, stating, “Don’t ever think they are fighting me; they are not fighting me. I’m too big.”
He went on to assert his dominance within the party, saying, “If you don’t recognize someone who is bigger than you, then you are sick. I’m far bigger than all of them put together.”
The FCT minister, who previously served as Governor of Rivers State, emphasized that his influence in the PDP remains unchallenged. “Let nobody threaten anybody; all those threats are empty. Soon we will know who is relevant,” he added, implying a potential showdown within the party.
Wike’s remarks come amidst rising tensions within the PDP, as internal power struggles continue to shape the party’s dynamics. He reiterated his position on the party’s structure, stating, “I said nobody will take over the structure of the party. You can have all the money; if it didn’t dey, it didn’t dey.”
