Wike Affirms Fubara's Political Team Will Retain Power

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, expressed that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara is satisfied with their current collaboration, despite previous political disagreements. During a monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike noted that Fubara's primary concern is whether he will run for another election.

He asserted that Fubara's political camp would maintain control of power, irrespective of Fubara's decision regarding future elections. Wike remarked, “I’m not contesting any election, but I can make you have heat, I’ll be laughing, but you’re having heat.” He indicated that their working relationship has improved, countering perceptions that his political influence has diminished.

The comments reflect the evolving dynamics between Wike and Fubara, particularly after tensions arose over the political structure and governance of Rivers State.
