A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Nnam Robinson Ewoh, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of being a "destroyer."

In an interview with Symfoni on Wednesday, the former Rivers lawmaker alleged that Wike has never won any election through popular votes, claiming the ex-governor relies on violence to secure victories.

In a viral video from the interview, Ewoh expressed confidence that, despite the current rift between Wike and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Fubara would secure a second term in 2027.

He stated, "Wike, historically, is a destroyer. He has wrecked the PDP and everyone he has supported. Wike can’t bring anything good or new to this state."

Ewoh further claimed, "For Wike to win elections, they have to write the results for him. He’s never won through popular vote. Wike doesn’t believe in free elections, and he cannot compete in a fair electoral process.

"Whether Wike is involved or not doesn’t matter. What will determine Governor Fubara’s return in 2027 are the votes from River’s people, not Wike’s. Wike has only one vote, and that won’t be enough to affect the governor’s chances."

Ewoh also argued that Wike’s involvement in the PDP has led to the party's decline, adding, "Since Wike began playing a key role in the PDP, the party has been going downhill. He’s never been a success story—only a disaster for the PDP. Fubara will definitely have a second term, and nobody is talking about Wike in this state."

He concluded by advising President Bola Tinubu to be cautious in dealing with Wike, warning that Wike may eventually turn against him as political dynamics shift.
