Rivers State politics has been set abuzz as reports claim that the son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Jordan Wike, is being lined up to contest the Obio-Akpor House of Representatives seat.
Sources say the 25-year-old scion is already being introduced to political allies and key stakeholders ahead of the 2027 elections, sparking heated debates about political dynasties and youth involvement.
“The move is part of broader behind-the-scenes engagements aimed at testing political acceptance and consolidating support within the constituency,” a source revealed.
The young Wike is reportedly being positioned to succeed Rt. Hon. Kingsley Chinda, the current Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, sending shockwaves across the state’s political landscape.
While no official declaration has been made, insiders say consultations are ongoing, with the FCT Minister personally guiding his son’s political debut. Rivers is watching closely.
