According to P.M news Amid ongoing tensions with his successor, Siminalayi Fubara, over control of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) structure in Rivers State, former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has declared that his loyalists have successfully taken charge of the party’s machinery in the state. This assertion follows a recent party congress that was boycotted by the Fubara camp. Wike, however, expressed confidence that the results of the congress solidify his grip on the PDP in Rivers, signaling a significant power shift within the state’s political landscape.

Speaking on the matter, Wike boldly stated that he would not relinquish his position within the PDP to anyone, despite attempts by some governors to wrest control from his faction. He warned that any such efforts would be met with fierce resistance, vowing to “put fire” in the states of those who seek to undermine his influence. Wike’s remarks reflect a deepening rift within the party, as he challenged his opponents, saying they would regret their attempts to destabilize his control.
