Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has declared that his political career would be destroyed if Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers State, secures a second term in office.

Wike made the statement on Saturday during a stakeholders’ meeting in Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State, where he said a firm decision had already been taken regarding the 2027 governorship election.

“We have made a decision as far as Tinubu is concerned. The other one — no way. Because if we make another mistake, then we will go and bury ourselves politically. I will not allow myself to be buried. I will not allow that mistake again,” Wike said.

He added that all stakeholders should be aware that the matter had been settled politically.

Wike’s remarks mark a renewed escalation in his rift with Fubara, which resurfaced after the governor defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last month.

The former Rivers governor accused Fubara of violating the peace agreement reached prior to the lifting of the emergency rule imposed on the state—an agreement that enabled Fubara’s return to office.

Earlier in the week, Wike stated that what he described as a “leadership mistake” in Rivers State would be corrected in 2027, promising to disclose details of the peace deal at a later date.

In a veiled reference to Fubara, the FCT minister said political leaders must prioritise the will of the people over personal ambition.
