Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, has slammed some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, labelling them as “political buccaneers”.Wike, who was governor of the oil-rich South-South state from May 2015 to May 2023, blasted PDP leaders in the state for declaring support for his former political son, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

“The other day, I saw a political conference organised by transactional politicians. Political vampires, political buccaneers,” Wike said.When journalist corrected the minister that those he referred to are elder statesmen, Wike said, “Do you know who is called an elder stateman? An elder statesman is someone who must have integrity; who must not be here today and be there tomorrow.”

“Today, they are not only serving a boy but they are waiting for him on the road. Do they have integrity? The same people who said this governor was a neophyte, how can they bring themselves to support him? They wrote a petition when this governor wanted to collect his certificate in PDP, they carried a rumour on how he became chairman and that he is being looked for by EFCC.
