Wike: Fubara Lost Second-Term Chance in Rivers Political Crisis

Wike: Fubara Lost Second-Term Chance in Rivers Political Crisis

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has emerged as the biggest loser in the state’s prolonged political crisis. Speaking during a media chat in Port Harcourt, Wike argued that Fubara lost control of the Rivers State House of Assembly and missed the chance to secure a second term. He also said the governor did not supervise the local government election whose outcome was later nullified by the Supreme Court. Wike said impeachment is a constitutional provision but should be approached cautiously as a political tool. He maintained that the crisis required compromise, claiming that advice from Fubara’s supporters deepened the dispute and harmed the state.

Exactly, lasting calm needs dialogue, clear rules, and institutions that can work without turning every move into a political tug-of-war.

The prolonged crisis appears to have turned governance into a contest over political control and future electoral prospects.

Could it not also be about competing views of governance, rather than electoral calculations alone?

Calling Fubara the biggest loser sounds premature; political crises can shift quickly, and Wike is clearly a major participant too.

Residents need the parties to prioritise workable institutions, clear constitutional processes, and fewer public escalations over political predictions.
