Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has accused Governor Sim Fubara of engaging in anti-party activities by supporting the Action Peoples Party (APP) during the recent local government elections.
Wike made the allegations during an appearance on Channels TV's Politics Today, asserting that Fubara's actions undermined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike stated, “Today, people say discipline Wike because he did anti-party, but I say that I did not do anti-party. Today, what happened? The governor sponsored APP, and Bala Mohammed was the one who attended the swearing-in of the APP Chairmen.”
He expressed frustration over Fubara's defiance of the party's agreed-upon strategies, insisting, “I said I wouldn’t support injustice and I have no apology to render to anybody because PDP had agreed on what to do, but he refused.”

Wike's accusations reflect a growing discontent within the party, indicating a potential fallout that could have lasting implications for the political future of Rivers State.
