Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has made it clear that no one can give him political orders concerning Rivers State, as the 2027 general election approaches.
Speaking to his supporters in Ahoada Local Government Area over the weekend, Wike dismissed rumours that President Bola Tinubu or any other person could call him to issue political instructions about Rivers politics.
He described such claims as false and misleading, stressing that decisions about the state would be taken strictly by him based on his own judgment and interest in Rivers State.
Wike also warned that repeatedly shouting slogans like “on your mandate” does not guarantee automatic political tickets, a statement widely seen as a response to recent political developments involving Governor Siminalyi Fubara, who recently moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to Wike, political power and decisions in Rivers State cannot be forced or influenced from outside.
“Nobody will call me to give instructions on Rivers matters. Even if you shout ‘on your mandate’ many times, it does not mean automatic ticket,” he said.
