Sunday, January 11, 2026 - Isaac Fayose, a brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, has claimed that neither the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, nor Governor Siminalayi Fubara, can secure Rivers State for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election without electoral manipulation.
Fayose made the claim in a video shared on his Facebook page
on Saturday while commenting on the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.
According to him, both Wike and Fubara lack the grassroots
support required to win the state for the APC in a free and fair election.
“Make we no deceive ourselves. Both Wike and Fubara, none of
them can win Rivers election for APC or Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 without
rigging. The only person that can win Rivers State for Tinubu is INEC and the
Police, not Fubara and not Wike,” he said
Fayose further alleged that the political feud between the
former governor and his successor was not in the interest of Rivers residents
but was driven by a struggle for control of the state’s resources.
He claimed that Governor Fubara had accumulated significant
savings, which he alleged was a major factor in the dispute between the two
political leaders.
Fayose also argued that the presence of the Labour Party’s
2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on the ballot in 2027 would further
weaken the chances of the APC in Rivers State.
He also dismissed recent political tours and outreach
efforts by the rival camps, describing them as ineffective and lacking
sufficient voter support.
