The National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, South South, Victor Giadom, has told Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, that he must pass through the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to win anything in Rivers State.
Giadom gave the advice on Tuesday during Wike’s ‘thank you’ visit to the people of Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Describing Wike as a “dependable leader” in Rivers politics, Giadom assured the minister that there would be no political force in Gokana other than him.
“I guarantee, on behalf of my brothers, that the Gokana people are for Wike and Tinubu and nobody will challenge Wike’s influence in Gokana.
“Gokana is a ‘no go area’ for anybody, even Gov. Fubara. For him to win anything in Gokana, he must pass through Wike,” he said.
Reports have it that during an earlier visit to Khana Local Government, the Minister has stated that the residents of Rivers will not repeat their “mistake” in 2027, reiterating that the governor’s second term ticket was not guaranteed, despite his detection to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“As for the state, we will talk about that later. You know what I mean. We will not make a mistake again,” he said.
