A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Rivers State, Nnam Robinson Ewoh, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as a “destroyer.”

During an interview with Symfoni on Wednesday, October 17, 2024, the ex-Rivers lawmaker claimed Wike has never won any election based on popular votes, and that the former governor uses violence to secure victory.

The PDP chieftain believes that despite the ongoing feud between Wike and his successor, Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, would secure his second term in 2027.

He said, “Wike, from history, is a destroyer. He has destroyed the PDP and everyone he supported. So Wike cannot bring anything good or new to this state.

“For Wike to win elections, they have to write results for him. He has never won an election by popular vote. Wike does not believe in elections, and he cannot participate in any popular election.

“Whether Wike is there or not, it is immaterial. What will determine Governor Fubara’s return in 2027 are Rivers votes, not Wike’s vote. Wike has a single vote, and that cannot make the governor lose the election.

“Since Wike began playing a key role in the PDP, the party started declining. He has never been a success story for the PDP. Wike has been a disaster for the PDP.

“Fubara will surely do his second term. Nobody is discussing Wike in this state.”

Robinson Ewoh advised President Bola Tinubu to be wary of Wike, suggesting that he could turn against him.
