In Bold Move Wike’s Local Mobiliser Defects To Fubara

In a major move seen as further strengthening the political stature of Governor Simi Fubara, the councillor representing Ward 9 in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers, the political base of Mr Nyesom Wike has resigned his position as the Leader of the Legislative Council.

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN), reports that Mr Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is from same ward.

Nna resigned via a letter dated March 7, 2024 and addressed to the Clerk of the House, Mrs Rosemary Brown.

In that letter, Nna declared support for Governor Fubara, generally seen as Wike’s political rival.

The letter read in part: ‘’This resignation is borne out of my personal conviction to align with the truth in the face of the current political issues in Rivers’’.

He attributed his action to “unwarranted intimidation, marginalisation, coercion, bullying and arm-twisting from the leaders of the Obio/Akpor Local Government.

“I want to align with the progressive minds to liberate and develop Rivers. Let it be known that this resignation will never negate my earlier resolve to work in consonance with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope,” he said. (NAN)

GWG.ng reports that the resignation of the councillor representing Wike could further embolden other political actors who have been waiting in the wings to throw support for Governor Fubara in the battle of wits with the former governor and now minister of FCT.
