Wike’s REMOVAL: Tinubu Asked To Sack FCT Minister Wike Immediately; SEE Shocking Details
A political group, Ijaws for Tinubu 2027, has called for the immediate dismissal of Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over his recent comments about the Ijaw people.
The group’ s leader, Tamuno Esiri, made this demand in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday. He argued that if President Bola Tinubu is serious about securing a second term, Wike must be removed from office.
During an interview on the political crisis in Rivers State, Wike allegedly described the Ijaws as a minority ethnic group in the Niger Delta. Mr Esiri strongly opposed this claim, stating that the Ijaw people are one of the major ethnic groups in the region.
He warned that Wike’ s comments could negatively affect President Tinubu’ s chances in the 2027 election, as they could alienate Ijaw voters.
” We believe Wike is intentionally weakening the president’ s support among the Ijaw people, who hold significant political influence in the Niger Delta, ” Esiri stated.
He further described Wike’ s role in the president’ s cabinet as a threat to democracy and regional stability.
Additionally, Esiri urged President Tinubu to caution Wike over his alleged role in the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State and his reported disrespect toward prominent elders and politicians.
He also advised the president against relying on Wike to secure Rivers State in the next general election, arguing that the former governor has lost the political influence he once had.
” Most Rivers people now support Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Any political group that believes Wike can still deliver Rivers State in 2027 should reconsider, ” Esiri said.
He also criticised the state House of Assembly, led by Martins Amaewhule, for allegedly proposing laws that could worsen the state’ s political crisis.

Esiri issued a 14- day ultimatum for the lawmakers to comply with President Tinubu’ s directive by allowing Governor Fubara to re- present the 2025 budget.
He warned the legislators to stop pushing ” self- serving and anti- Rivers State bills” or face recall by their constituents.
” If they refuse to promote peace, we will collaborate with all well- meaning groups and Rivers people who support Governor Fubara and President Tinubu to initiate their recall, ” Esiri declared.
He concluded by reaffirming the group’ s commitment to ensuring the political freedom of Rivers State.
