Minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has finally spoken on the crisis in Rivers State.

Wike, who handed over power to his protege and the incumbent, Governor Sim Fubara, spoke to the press on Tuesday.

The former Rivers helmsman spoke after the governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to him, the main opposition party has taken over the matter. He insisted it was in no way an ethnic issue, as some people had speculated.

There were claims on social media on Monday suggesting that what is going on in Rivers has some ethnic colouration as a clash between the Ijaws and the Ikweres.

DAILY POST reports that the Rivers State House of Assembly attempted to impeach Governor Sim Fubara between Sunday night and Monday morning.

The PDP National Working Committee and some governors elected on the party’s platform, such as Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Caleb Muftwang (Plateau), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), and Ademola Adeleke (Osun), among others, met in Abuja earlier in the day.

“In politics, there are lot of internal wrangling. But you’re not going to say that because there are lots of internal wrangling, they’re not going to settle among themselves,” Wike said.

“I was the instrument. I had every power then to say where things should go. When things are wrong, you ask questions. It’s a party affair.
Parties know how they resolve their own mechanism. It’s not an ethnic affair. Our party is looking into it. That’s what I’ll say. Every politician has his own interests,” he said.

Final scores
Sim - 1
Wike - 0

Frankly speaking, this is not good for wike's Brand image

Bad man wike

Wike will lose his political fortune very fast. He is spending his last political Kobo as the FCT minister. Once he is relieved of that appointment, Wike is finished politically. Politics of gra gra is not sustainable

Fvck Wike!
Fvck Sim!

From all of us @ MANNA,
Peace is all we want in Rivers State.

God bless Our state of Residence.
God bless Rivers State.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬.

We Rise.

No be only party affair!! If you don't stand up to bullies like Wike and show his likes, that two can play the game! Then you are gone!
At this point, SIM should not back down and should be battle ready.
Nobody get monopoly of madness/ violence!

Wike should rest abeg.
Only you dey Abuja hold ministry.
Only you put leg for APC Rivers State neck.
Only you hold Atiku and PDP for blockos.
Only you install Governor for Rivers State come still wan remove am because he no gree for godfatherism and your remote control.
In the immortal words of Dame Patience Jonathan; Wike, na only you waka come?

this drunken fool has been humbled

They know how to settle one another, make them carry their wahala go one side.

A greedy man will always be a greedy man. He knows what he stand to loose and now he is begging indirectly. Imagine wike now talking calmly and respectful to the party after all he did to same party. Bad man wike, more to come, carry your cross.

you are correct

Fubara already know that nigerian politicians including wike use ethnic sentiments to win their political wars so he too will also definitely wipe up ethnic sentiments to win his own political war to remain in office at all cost he is a good political protege of wike.

Internal party wrangling to the point of burning the the State House of Assembly,

A state property that does not belong to either PDP, APC or any other party
