A Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Comrade Austin Okai has predicted that the rift between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara will consume the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ugamatv reports that Wike and Fubara resumed their face-off recently as the Minister vowed to frustrate the governor’s re-election bid.

Fubara, who is now a member of the ruling party, however, has the backing of some APC top leaders.

But Wike urged the party stalwart to steer clear of Rivers State politics, a comment that triggered war of words between him and national leadership of the ruling party.

Speaking during an interview on TVC News on Tuesday, Okai predicted that the crisis will escalate to other parts of the country.

He said, “Wike did not just attack the APC National Secretary, he attacked the NSA and all of them. For over a decade, the crisis of ruling parties usually starts from Rivers State.

“What you see happening in Rivers will consume APC except the president summons a political courage and call the FCT Minister to order. He has declared that his political survival depends on Rivers State and we don’t know the agreement between him and the president.

“Wike is talking tough even more than the APC National Chairman, NSA and the Chief of Staff to the President. Wike is talking more than the president himself”.
