Demola Olarewaju, the Digital Media Strategy Special Assistant to the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as “the former emperor” of River State.
Olanrewaju stated this while he labelled the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, as the uncontested leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
His jibes came after a northern group rejected Atiku and endorsed Wike as the PDP national leader.
One, Haruna Bature, who claimed to be the national chairman of the Arewa PDP Transparency Group, reportedly expressed the northern group’s views in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
The group stated that Wike can positively transform the party’s situation.
This, however, did not sit well with Atiku’s supporters.
They claimed that Bature should not be taken seriously, noting that he previously served as the coordinator of the ‘Rotimi Amaechi Vanguard’, but recently switched to Wike’s camp.
Olanrewaju, in a recent mockery post on his verified X while praising Fubara, said the latter has dethroned the former state governor as the emperor of Port-Harcourt.
He said Wike was “the former emperor” who had been “uprooted” by Fubara.
“Good morning this morning, to Governor Sim Fubara, the undisputed Grand Commander of our PDP Forces in Rivers state.
“You have uprooted the former emperor from Port-Harcourt and turned him into an internally displaced politician, seeking solidarity from strange places,” Olarewaju wrote.
