Wike: We Know What We Could Have Done To Allow Emergency Rule Continue by Islie(op): 3:18pm On Sep 19, 2025

By Seun Adeuyi

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu deliberately chose to lift the six-month emergency rule imposed on Rivers state in the overall interest of the state.

President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State at the peak of the rift between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and loyalists of his estranged political godfather, Wike, the immediate past governor of the state.

Tinubu had suspended Fubara, Ngozi Odu, the Deputy Governor and members of the Rivers House of Assembly for six months.

He had appointed former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Ibot Ekwe Ibas as Sole Administrator of the State, a move which was heavily criticised

On Wednesday, the President announced an end to the emergency rule, saying feelers from the state showed that there was no need for it to last a day longer.

Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday night, Wike explained that there were steps the government could have taken to prolong the emergency rule.

“I was watching on television today, there are people who are natural crisis builders, who think they can only benefit when there is a crisis,” he said.

“If we didn’t want the state of emergency to be lifted, we would have done one or two things to make sure it continued. But we did it for the interest of the state.”

This is the same man that is boasting he would have dealt with Sowore if he were to be the president. Wike will account for all his atrocities one day.

He who the gods want to kill, they first make mad.

I'm certain he didn't know when he let that slip.

What you would have done would certainly be what was seen before that led to the declaration in the first place.

A precedent has been laid; it is now a question of which state next and under which President?

Wike, you are the one that is supposed to be giving the address today and not Fubara

Anyways, a tyrant always has his time. One day, he'll give an account.

Let someone just help me inform him that EVERYONE in the South sees him as an alien, and also EVERYONE in the North sees him as a tool for their advantage. Meaning that, when the chips are down, there is no home to run to.

.
The only thing that happened is that Tinubu just showed the world how to neutralize his hegemony in Lagos.

Just sponsor kasala in Lagos by yourself and declare state of emergency few months to election Shikena. Install a sole administrator who will ensure free and fair election and voila, Tinubu dynasty is gone.

This his script will be used on him. Politics is very good at serving one his own poison.

So you were responsible for orchestrating the crisis that led to the unconstitutional state of emergency in the first place.

Imagine bragging about a clear violation of the constitution.

Tinubu because of political greed and ambition does not see how this man continues to implicate him every time he speaks.

But it doesn't matter anyway, Tinubu does not care about legacy, himself came to steal and expand his Lagos criminal empire and Wike is instrumental to that agenda

This talk is wrong for the nation. So one man can do something and state of emergency will be enforced?
