Rivers: Aisha Yesufu Sparks Controversy On How Wike Has Become Tinubu’s Puppet
By Benjamin Abioye
Following the political turmoil in Rivers State, Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu asserted that current governor Siminalayi Fubara is more dependable than his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
GWG.ng reported that the clash between Fubara and Wike, now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has plunged the state into chaos.
According to reports, some Local Government Chairmen, whose tenures expired Monday, faced attacks from youths when they tried to access their offices on Tuesday. There were also incidents of gunfire in Port Harcourt, allegedly involving Rivers State Police command.
The chairmen aligned with Wike argued that the state House of Assembly had extended their terms by six months.
In response to the crisis, Aisha criticized the FCT Minister on her X handle for his alleged role in exacerbating the situation.
Aisha suggested that President Bola Tinubu would prefer dealing with Fubara over Wike, emphasizing that the Minister lacks relevance in Rivers State’s governance structure.
She wrote, “Wike thought he was smart and decided to dine with the devil not knowing he was on the menu.
“A powerless Wike is a great asset to Tinubu and Tinubu will ensure every power that Wike has is stripped so he becomes a proper errand boy that can be controlled completely.
“Without the structure of Rivers State Wike is a haggard old politician and I bet you Tinubu will rather have a deal with Fubara than Wike.”

@Atentemente; The fact is that Sim Fubara study Wike political notebook and run with it , what a good student 👩🎓
@OMatarazi: Sow respect, not control, when your time is up, leave with dignity, and you will be remembered with love, not resentment- PO
@Its_ereko: Him never sabi the river e go to swim Crocodiles full inside
@realadefiz: Wike will still continue to drag Fabura till 2027, when Rivers people will now realise Fabura have offered them nothing for his 4 years in office. I can expect any obi supporter should know how politics is being played bcos they reason with emotions, like what you display.
@Aremottunde
You said “Wike thought he was smart and decided to dine with the devil not knowing he was on the menu”
So what did you know?
I pity you as you probably didn’t know the difference between the ‘Federal Might’ @DefenceInfoNG which Wike @GovWike is a caucus member.
Very soon you will hear cry for Fubara and his supporters. A state of emergency will do the job. Lol!
Go and ask the Kano Governor.
@Kaycee4realz: Gov Sim is master in the game. He doesn’t talk much but he has shown the one who thought he is god that politics is not by gra gra.
He will be used and dumped later.
@adekunle_j: Alhaja,why are you crying more than the bereaved? Wike is doing fantastic in Abuja. Bitter leaf.
@OlaOla_25: Aunty Aisha oil dey your head 🙏🙏

@iamsly21: @hadjiman55 @oluwalekeroyals
