”He’s Now Running From Pillar To Post”—Rivers ADC Alleges Reason Wike Is Meeting Fubara

According to a report by Daily Post on Monday, October 19, 2026, The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed doubts about the intentions behind recent discussions between Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara, suggesting that the engagements could have political implications for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

Chizy Enyi, the party’s spokesperson in Rivers State, made the allegation in a video shared on his official Facebook page. Enyi questioned the need for the meetings, considering Wike’s previous expressions of confidence about Tinubu’s prospects in the 2027 presidential election.

The ADC representative wondered why the minister would seek closer engagement with Fubara and his political supporters if he was already convinced of the president’s electoral success. Expressing his reservations, Enyi said, “Wike said he has won the election, what is the essence of meeting Governor Fubara,” Enyi asked.

He suggested that the discussions might be intended to persuade members of Fubara’s political camp to support Tinubu. However, the report did not establish that securing the governor’s supporters for the president’s campaign was the confirmed purpose of the meetings.

Enyi also criticised the prolonged disagreement between Wike and Fubara, arguing that the political tensions had raised concerns about governance in Rivers State.

He referred to a reported cancellation of a scholarship scheme for medical students at Pamo University, using the issue to question the wider effects of political disputes on residents and educational opportunities. The ADC spokesman further alleged that the rivalry had disrupted the activities of some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Reports cited in the supplied account indicated that Wike and Fubara had held two meetings at the governor’s private residence in Port Harcourt, with members of the Rainbow Coalition reportedly involved. The discussions took place privately, and their specific agenda was not publicly established in the report.

Neither Wike nor Fubara was reported to have confirmed that the meetings concerned Tinubu’s re-election campaign. The ADC’s concerns therefore remain an interpretation of the political engagements, as questions continue over whether the renewed contact signals reconciliation, political realignment or discussions about other issues affecting Rivers State.
