Supporters of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara took to the streets of Port Harcourt on Wednesday night, loudly chanting political songs aimed at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Videos of the procession, which have gone viral on social media, show demonstrators marching through parts of the state capital, drawing attention from residents as they vocally backed Governor Fubara.
In the clip, the crowd could be heard mocking the former Rivers State governor, insisting that his authority has ended in the state. The chants were set to a song titled: “Na Minister you be, you no be God.”
Among the chants, supporters repeatedly sang in Pidgin English:
“Wike oh, Na Minister u be oh, you no be God, Wike oh, Na Minister u be oh, Na Fubara be governor.”
Another chant went: “Wike oh, Na Minister you be oh, Na Fubara be governor. Wike you no be God.”
Observers note that the street rally seemed aimed directly at Minister Wike, urging him to focus on his federal duties rather than interfere in Rivers State politics. The demonstrators emphasized that Siminalayi Fubara remains the legitimate governor despite ongoing political tensions.
The protest comes amid a renewed political feud between Wike and his successor Fubara. Once close allies, the two politicians have been engaged in a prolonged power struggle that continues to dominate discussions in Rivers State.
