Rivers: Wike’s influence unshakable – Okocha unveils 2027 plans against Fubara
Tony Okocha, the embattled Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, has declared that the political structure of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), remains unbreakable.
He also suggested that Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, is creating challenges for himself.
Okocha revealed that plans are already in motion to weaken Fubara ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Rivers State.
According to reports, the ongoing conflict between Wike and Fubara continues despite mediation efforts from President Bola Tinubu and other key political figures.
While Wike claims he has shown willingness to resolve the conflict peacefully, he insists that Fubara must follow the rule of law.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Okocha said, “Wike made it possible for Fubara to emerge as governor. Fubara was never a politician.
“Fubara is creating problems for himself. It is our business to demarket him and his party for us to win in 2027.
“I can say to you that for the next 10 years, I do not see any politician destroying the political structure Wike has in Rivers State.
“I’m not God, but I’m talking about what is possible within human possibility. Wike’s structure cannot be destroyed. It is not possible, not so soon. Let’s leave it there.”
