The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, of spreading falsehoods about him. During an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” Wike vowed never to support Fubara again in his political career.
He emphasized that Fubara’s victory in the elections was due to the hard work and structures built by his supporters, which Fubara has now disregarded.
Wike also rejected attempts by the program’s anchor to label Governor Fubara as his political protégé and denied allegations that he had demanded money from the governor or the Rivers State government.
Wike expressed frustration that Fubara has not only abandoned those who helped him but is also spreading lies about financial demands.
In the same interview, Wike challenged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to accuse him publicly of being a mole.
He stated that before accepting the role of FCT Minister, he had informed PDP leadership at both the state and national levels about his decision.
Wike boldly declared, “I dare any governor or National Working Committee member to come on national television to say I’m a mole.
” He reiterated his previous stance against supporting the PDP’s 2023 presidential candidate, citing issues of equity and fairness, and highlighted the PDP’s success in the governorship, National Assembly, and state assembly elections in Rivers State.
Wike concluded by affirming his integrity, stating, “I am a man of my word.”
