Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has accused former transport minister Rotimi Amaechi of neglecting infrastructure development in Rivers state. The accusation comes amid ongoing political tensions between key figures in Nigerian politics.
Wike’s remarks were made during a public statement where he also emphasized his support for President Bola Tinubu. He described Tinubu as “our brother” and stated that the people of Rivers would back his re-election bid in 2027.
The dispute highlights the complex political dynamics within the ruling party. Amaechi, who previously held the transport ministry, is now facing criticism over his handling of regional development projects. Wike’s claims suggest a growing rift over policy priorities and regional representation.
The situation underscores the challenges of maintaining unity within political factions. As the 2027 elections approach, such tensions could influence voter sentiment and party strategies.
