The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claims that Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has lost his political relevance following his prolonged political feud with his predecessor.
Wike made the remarks on Thursday during his monthly media chat with selected journalists in Abuja.
The minister described Fubara as a young politician, arguing that it would be premature to conclude that his political career had ended based on the political developments in Rivers State.
He also disclosed that Fubara remains an active member of the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-party political group supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
According to Wike, Fubara was instrumental in unveiling the Rainbow Coalition candidates in Rivers State.

“Governor Fubara is a young man. It will be incorrect to say that his political future is gone.
“Fubara is an active member of the Rainbow Coalition; in fact, he was the one who unveiled the Rainbow Coalition candidates in Rivers State,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Fubara reconciled with Wike in May 2026 following their prolonged political rift, a development that forced the Rivers governor to abandon his re-election ambition.
