The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu, declaring that his political base in Rivers State remains firmly aligned with the President.

Wike made the declaration on Tuesday in a post on X while outlining his ongoing tour of local government areas (LGAs) in Rivers State. He said that following visits to Oyigbo and Ogu-Bolo LGAs, he was scheduled to continue his consultations in Akuku-Toru and Degema LGAs.

Yesterday, we were in Oyigbo and Ogu-Bolo LGAs. Today, we will be in Akuku-Toru and Degema LGAs,” Wike wrote.

Here, it is local politics, and our support for Mr President is total.”

The statement comes amid escalating tensions between Wike and the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, over control and influence in Rivers State politics.
