FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, has broken his silence on the brewing political crisis in Rivers State.
This is coming after 48 hours of political wrangling in Rivers State, a beef reported to be between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his “godfather” Wike.
Recall some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly had perfected plans to impeach the Governor before the explosion of the assembly complex on Sunday night.
However, while speaking to South-South leaders at his office in Abuja, Wike revealed his commitment to hold unto his political structure in the State.
In the words of the Minister, he won’t let anyone destroy his political structure in the state, adding that, such a move could render him politically irrelevant.
“All of us want to be politically relevant; all of us want to maintain our political structure. Is it not your political structure? Will you allow anybody to just cut you out immediately? Everybody has a base. If you take my base, am I not politically irrelevant?.
“In politics, there are a lot of internal wrangling. But to come out and say ‘Oh they want to do this against me, it will not work.’ I had every power then to say where this thing is going. So, when things are wrong, you ask questions. It is a party affair. The party knows how they resolve their own mechanism, it is not an ethnic affair.
“Our party is coming to it, that is what I will say. Every politician has his own interest,” the minister added.
