Wike Threatens To Take Over Stadium If Rivers Govt Denies Them Access (video) by SamGift0817(op): 5:28pm On Jan 30

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has condemned the Rivers State Government for denying access to the Yakubu Gowon Stadium for a political rally, describing the action as unprecedented and politically motivated.

Speaking at the event, Wike said organisers had formally applied to use the facility but were turned down by the state government.

“We applied to the state government to use the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, and they refused. Next time, if we apply and they refuse again, we will break it, and nothing will happen,” he said.

Wike boasted that Rivers State was setting the pace in political mobilisation and would continue to lead other states in openly demonstrating support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“I know after today, other states may inaugurate their own structures, but Rivers State will always lead the way. Support is not by mouth; we have shown commitment with action,” he added.

The former Rivers State governor declared that political activities ahead of future elections had officially commenced, noting that ward-level inaugurations would soon follow.

“I told you that by January, we would start playing politics. This is January, and we have started. If you don’t give us the venue, we will break it,” Wike reiterated.

He also questioned the commitment of the Rivers State Government to President Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections, suggesting that political rewards are tied to loyalty and visible support.

“You cannot have a governor in the state while we are openly declaring support for President Tinubu, and you are not aligning. How then do you expect a reward?” he asked.

According to Wike, political rewards are based on commitment rather than financial contributions.

“You don’t need N600 billion. All you need is commitment. That is what brings reward, even if it brings envy,” he said.

Wike further disclosed that the rally was a coalition effort and thanked President Tinubu for backing the Ijaw coalition in producing candidates for the February 21 by-elections in Khana Constituency II and Ahoada West Constituency II. He urged supporters to turn out en masse to vote, promising logistical support for mobilisation.

“By February 21, go out and vote. We will provide the buses and ensure proper mobilisation for the Renewed Hope agenda,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, Senator George Sekibo assured President Tinubu of Rivers State’s continued support, expressing gratitude for federal appointments and ongoing projects in the state.

“No President has embarked on projects of this magnitude while also appointing Rivers indigenes. Tell the President we are grateful,” Sekibo said.

The rally comes amid growing political tensions in Rivers State as alignments and mobilisations intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.

I have told the Rivers State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, write again to the State Government, choose a date for the inauguration of the Ward Executive and if they refuse, we will break it by force, we will do the needful. Nobody can deny us the use of facilities that belongs to Rivers State. Heaven will not fall, even if heaven falls, everywhere will be at peace

Wike can't do anything. He's a clueless loser
Re: Wike Threatens To Take Over Stadium If Rivers Govt Denies Them Access (video) by AMINDA: 5:35pm On Jan 30
But seriously, is this what Tinubu is enabling against a sitting governor just to get Rivers' votes rigged in his favour? Where has Wike gotten the funds to purchase 345 buses for each ward in Rivers state while FCT workers are on strike for non-payment of salaries and entitlements. Let he that thinks he stands take heed, lest he falls.

Nyesom Wike
Wike wey insult traditional rulers. Did all sorts grin grin grin grin grin look at him sounding like he was any good.

I'll love to see him dare.

An empty drunk vessel with the loudest noise.
Fubara is feeding him his favourite meal perfectly.

Re: Wike Threatens To Take Over Stadium If Rivers Govt Denies Them Access (video) by Pierocash(m): 5:41pm On Jan 30
i am beginning to hate Fubara. I pray they remove him. he is not fit to be a governor.

How can a minister be threatning a sitting governor, bullying him, and even beating up his supporters in his own state where he governs.

This guy is truly a mistake. Even Yahaya Bello dealt with almighty Dangote in Kogi, it took Buhari to beg bello to mellow down. But in Rivers state, ordinary FCT minister is bullying this so called mistake of a governor and he cannot even cough. We thought it was because Wike had federal support that Fubara did not have was the main reason fubara was been oppressed by wike, but it is now clear that a dumbo is a dumbo even with a nuclear weapon. Tuah! i pour spit for him face

Wike know the person he put in the government is a vegetable and he just pushing him anyhow.

Only kids and political illiterate will say wike can do nothing in present River State.

There are huge construction in Yakubu Gowon stadium in pH. Wike is just bar*king like dog here. See the screenshot here. Governor Fubara is trying in terms of infrastructural development in Rivers State.

Wike must be very Sen*eles* at times to say some certain things.
Re: Wike Threatens To Take Over Stadium If Rivers Govt Denies Them Access (video) by Ofunaofu: 5:56pm On Jan 30
Karma at its best.

Wike forgot so soon that he too denied others the use of the same stadium when he was Governor of Rivers State.

Re: Wike Threatens To Take Over Stadium If Rivers Govt Denies Them Access (video) by press9jatv(m): 5:59pm On Jan 30
The allegation is highly destructive and as such, at this point, silence is not longer golden.

If you always refuse to speak and tell your own part of the story publicly, they will continue to lie against you, their lies will appear to be truth and you will be the victim.

I thought the Presidency had warned Wike to allow Fubara govern peacefully.

Is Wike now bigger and more powerful than Tinubu that he openly ignores the President’s instructions and orders?

Well said the commander general of rivers state, that stadium is not FUBARA father's property

Na the disgrace be this ooh.

Fubara is playing with fire. Is this the person APC leaders are begging for? An unrepentant ingrate that can never change. People have started pushing him again to act like a strong man, but when the problems come, he will chicken out. He wants to start what he can't finish. If you are following someone's playbook, know it can be altered at any point by that same person. Fubara is yet to learn his lesson, later he will start begging for peace. He will surely learn the hard way.

So it had to be renovated when the date for the event had been fixed and sent for approval?
So stadium renovation is the priority of the governor rather than fixing terrible bad roads,dirts littering all over a big city as PH?
Dry season is here but the governor will not use it to do something in the state.He should continue renovating stadium.
This singular act is a big minus for him.
