FCT Minister Wike’s Concerns Over A Threat To His Power Structure

In the intricate game of Rivers State politics, godfatherism has long been the prevailing challenge. The control of power by influential factions has dictated the course of governance, with FCT Wike at the forefront. However, recent developments have raised concerns for Wike regarding a potential threat to his power structure. Minister Wike believes that Governor Sim Fubara is making deliberate attempts to dismantle the very foundations that have granted him considerable authority.

The existing structure, carefully constructed by Wike’s political maneuvering and alliances, has allowed him to maintain a stronghold over Rivers State politics. The appointment of Governor Fubara as the governor of Rivers State by former Governor Wike was a strategic move aimed at preserving this power structure. It demonstrated his intent to ensure continuity and protect his interests in the face of political uncertainties.
