‘Not in our state’ – NDC Chair on Wike stopping Peter Obi from winning Rivers [VIDEO]

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has criticized Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike for acting as if he is the state's chief executive officer. ADC Publicity Secretary, Chizzy Enyi, expressed this in a video posted on social media in response to Wike's comment about Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

During an interview on TVC News, Wike stated that Fubara had complied with all requests made to him. He specifically mentioned that the governor had submitted a list of members for the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council prior to his trip to the United States.

In reaction to Wike's statement, the ADC argued that the minister's claim suggests he has assumed the role of the state's chief executive. Enyi accused Wike of being solely interested in the state's resources and nothing else. He remarked, "Wike as the Chief Executive Officer of Rivers State said everything he told Governor Siminalayi Fubara, he has done it. Including submitting the list of campaign council members."

He further stated that while some Nigerians may now see Wike as the state's chief executive, it is only a matter of time before this "nonsense" ends.
