Rivers APC Leaders Hold Unexpected Summit With Wike In Abuja

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, hosted a high-profile delegation from the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at his Abuja residence on Thursday, according to Ireporter Online. The closed-door meeting brought together top political figures from Rivers State just days after the APC South-South Zonal Congress in Asaba, Delta State.

Those in attendance included the newly re-elected APC National Vice Chairman (South-South), Victor Giadom, lawmakers from the National Assembly, the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, as well as several members of the state assembly and senior party officials.

The gathering underscores ongoing political realignments and strategic consultations among key stakeholders in Rivers State, particularly following recent developments within the South-South APC. While details of the discussions remain confidential, the presence of prominent party figures at Wike’s residence has intensified speculation about potential collaborations and political maneuvering ahead of upcoming electoral contests.

Wike, despite his current federal role, continues to exert significant influence in Rivers State politics and has a history of engaging leaders across party lines. The meeting reflects his continued relevance in shaping political dynamics in the region.
