If Votes Will Count, As Wike Alleged Earlier, He Would Not Be On His Knees Begging Fubara – Gabriel Pidomson

In a recent interview on Symfoni TV, on Sunday, October 11, 2026, Gabriel Pidomson, former Secretary to the Rivers State Government and governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State, discussed the political relationship between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Pidomson examined the political developments involving the two leaders, using their relationship to raise questions about Wike’s earlier comments concerning votes and the role of electoral support in determining political influence. He suggested that the situation in Rivers State illustrated the importance of understanding the relationship between political power and the electorate.

According to Pidomson, “If votes will count, as Wike alleged earlier, he would not be on his knees begging Fubara.” He made the statement while commenting on the political relationship between Wike and Fubara and questioning the implications of Wike’s earlier position on votes.

The ADC governorship candidate’s remarks reflected his interpretation of the political situation in Rivers State. The relationship between Wike and Fubara has attracted attention because of the political disagreements and negotiations involving the two figures, who have played significant roles in the state’s political affairs.

Pidomson’s comments also highlighted the importance of political alliances and negotiations in the state’s evolving political landscape. He suggested that the interactions between prominent political figures could provide grounds for examining their public statements about elections and the influence of votes.

The statement represents Pidomson’s personal assessment of the situation, rather than an independently established explanation of Wike’s motives or the circumstances surrounding his relationship with Fubara.

He concluded that the political developments involving Wike and Fubara raise questions about electoral support and political influence in Rivers State, particularly as political leaders prepare for the 2027 general election.
