“Rivers Power Game Shifts Overnight — And Wike’s Next Move Shocked Everybody”
.....Shocking Claims, Fierce Counter-Claims as Fubara’s APC Move Sparks Political Earthquake
By Passman Akpos
Rivers State is once again on fire — politically — as a storm of accusations, counter-accusations, prophecies, and bold declarations erupts over the future of former governor Nyesom Wike, and the shocking defection of Governor Siminalayi Fubara to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
What began as a heated Facebook exchange has now spiraled into a viral political debate dominating public discourse across Rivers State and beyond.
“WIKE HAS DRIBBLED HIMSELF OUT OF POLITICS” — IKENNA FIRES FIRST SHOT
In an explosive commentary, Chukwunonso Ikenna declared that Wike’s influence is collapsing at breakneck speed.
> “Wike has dribbled himself out of the Rivers political equation and may soon become irrelevant. Fubara is now APC. Wike is expelled from PDP. His only option is to join APC — where Fubara will automatically become his leader.”
Ikenna did not hold back, branding Wike “greedy,” “proud,” “corrupt,” and predicting a “very loud fall.”
WIKE’S LOYALISTS STRIKE BACK: “HE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICIAN IN SOUTH-SOUTH!”
Immediately, Wike’s defenders descended into the comment battlefield.
One supporter shot back:
> “Wike is the political enigma that needs to be studied. The most relevant politician in the entire South-South. Everybody in APC and PDP is under his command.”
Another insisted:
> “Wike will stand until PDP is completely wrecked. He controls the structure. He is the backbone of APC now.”
The divide grew wider.
FUBARA’S DEFECTION SPARKS NEW FEARS
Analysts say Fubara’s jump to APC may have secured him a 2027 second term with presidential backing.
But critics warn that the same supporters who “forced him into trouble before” are doing it again.
One commenter cautioned:
> “Una don start again. When them flush Fubara comot, una go understand.”
IS WIKE SECRETLY IN APC ALREADY?
Some observers argue Wike may have joined APC quietly long ago.
> “Wike cannot be expelled from PDP. Forget that thing. He controls PDP. He controls APC. He controls the structure.”
Others disagree:
> “Wike is swimming in a deep ocean of political uncertainty. His peace, health, and relevance are all at risk.”
THE KARMA ARGUMENT EMERGES
Ikenna’s supporters insist Wike is reaping the consequences of betrayal:
> “He swore he would never have peace if he betrayed PDP. Look at what is happening now — no peace for the wicked.”
IS WIKE LOSING CONTROL OR PLAYING 4D CHESS?
The political landscape appears split:
🔴 Group A (Anti-Wike):
Wike is finished.
His influence is collapsing.
Fubara has outplayed him.
Tinubu will drop him soon.
He should seek “soft landing” abroad.
🟢 Group B (Pro-Wike):
Wike controls both PDP and APC in Rivers.
He is still the most powerful force in the state.
Fubara’s defection is part of Wike’s script.
He remains Tinubu’s key political asset.
THE QUESTIONS NOW SHAKING RIVERS STATE
1. Has Wike truly lost control?
2. Is Fubara now the undisputed leader of Rivers APC?
3. Was Fubara acting independently — or executing Wike’s strategy?
4. Will Tinubu choose Wike or Fubara in 2027?
5. Is Rivers State entering a new political order?
One commenter summarized the tension bluntly:
> “You’re just dwelling on surface politics. Dey play.”
