FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has claimed he is the most abused politician in Nigeria after President Bola Tinubu, while announcing that full-scale political activities in Rivers State will commence in January 2026.
Key Points:
Wike made the statement at a Thanksgiving service in Ochiba community, Ahoada East LGA.
He reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Tinubu and his commitment to political agreements.
The Minister praised his supporters for backing Tinubu early in the 2023 elections when others hesitated.
He appeared to criticize latecomers to the APC, suggesting their support lacks credibility.
Wike warned that his camp would not be taken for granted as the next political cycle approaches.
He attributed the frequent attacks against him to his insistence on accountability and honoring deals.
Former Deputy Speaker Chibudom Nwuche commended Wike for developmental projects in the Ekpeye Kingdom.
The declaration sets the stage for intensified political maneuvering in Rivers State, with Wike positioning himself as a steadfast but besieged kingmaker.
