The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has finally broken his silence following the invasion that occurred at the Rivers State House of Assembly on Monday.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that the State Assembly plotted to impeach the Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, and suspended the majority leader of the house, Edison Ehis over an undisclosed crisis.
In recent times, the relationship between Governor Fubara and his godfather, Wike went sour in less than six months after the handover as the 4th Governor of the state since 1999.
Fubara had stormed the Complex on Monday alongside his supporters, vowing to fight the impeachment threat.
President Bola Tinubu had waded into the crisis by summoning the duo who are of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to Aso Rock.

Speaking while receiving South-South leaders at his office in Abuja after the Aso Rock meeting, Wike emphasized the importance of holding his base to maintain his political relevance. The minister maintained that once he loses his base as a politician, he has lost relevance.
Wike explained that no amount of calumny leveled against him would make him lose sleep, adding that the right thing must be done.
“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 is 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 said.
