Associates and loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nyesom Wike, have perfected plans to shut down Rivers State, particularly Port Harcourt, the capital city, in celebration of his birthday.
The grand plan, which is expected to make a strong statement on Wike’s indisputable political leadership of Rivers amidst the ongoing crisis in the state, will feature various events across the state.
It was gathered that New groups and movements, including the NEW Associates, Wikematic Youths, Wikematic Women, and Rivers Ijaw Progressive Congress (RIPCO), will be on parade on Friday at different venues across the state.
According to Senator George Thompson Sekibo, Convener of the NEW Associates, numerous supporters of the minister are excitedly waiting to mark the day.
Sekibo announced that a public lecture titled, “Pragmatic Strides of a Visionary Leader and Contemporary Issues of Society,” would herald the celebration.
He noted that the event will feature prominent guests, including the Senate President as the Special Guest of Honour, a former President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), OCJ Okocha, as the Special Guest of Honour and Guest Lecturer, and Prof. Julius Ihonvbere.
Sekibo emphasized that Wike remains the indisputable leader of Rivers politics, having survived all the machinations against him.
“The forthcoming birthday is unique in the sense that despite all efforts of the betrayers, the minister has been able to keep our political family in Rivers intact,” he said.
“He has survived all the machinations of the devil and our leader by the grace of God continues to wax strong. We are calling on the numerous supporters of our leader to attend the event.”
