Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has made headlines again after publicly revealing the names of his true political opponents in Rivers State, firmly stating that his ongoing political battles have nothing to do with suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with BBC Pidgin, Wike dropped a political bombshell by identifying Celestine Omehia, Abiye Sekibo, and Austin Okpara as the main forces working against him in the state. According to Wike, these figures are the real architects of the crisis, not Governor Fubara, who he believes is merely being manipulated.

Wike accused the trio of trying to hijack the political structure they did not build, claiming that their sudden resurgence is fueled by envy and desperation. “I have defeated them before, and I will give them the final defeat,” he declared with unwavering confidence, signaling his readiness for another round of intense political showdown in Rivers State.
The explosive revelation comes amid mounting speculation of a possible reconciliation between Wike and Fubara, who was recently suspended following the federal government’s declaration of emergency in Rivers. Sources say Governor Fubara has tendered an apology to the FCT Minister, a move seen by many as a strategic step toward easing the growing political tension in the oil-rich state.
As the Rivers political drama continues to unfold, Wike’s statements are stirring the waters and sparking fresh debates among political watchers, with many questioning the future of power dynamics in the state.
