“You’ll Collapse and Go” – Wike Warns Politicians Backing Betrayal
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has issued a stern warning to politicians he accused of supporting betrayal in Rivers State politics.
The former Rivers State governor declared that public office holders who align with what he described as disloyal political conduct would eventually face the consequences of their actions.
Ejes Gist News reports that Wike made the remarks on Saturday in Port Harcourt while commissioning the Rivers State chapter office of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, a political support group.

Strong Words at Public Event
Speaking before party supporters and political associates, the FCT minister said betrayal would ultimately return to those who encourage it.
He warned that senators, members of the House of Representatives, ministers and governors who support disloyalty would experience similar treatment in the future.

“Whether you are a senator, House of Reps member, minister or governor, and you support betrayals, people will continue to betray you in life. Betrayal is your portion,” Wike said.
Warning of Political Consequences
The minister insisted that political actions have consequences and that those who encourage disloyal conduct would eventually reap what they sow.
He suggested that politicians who participate in what he called acts of betrayal would not escape the repercussions.
“The day you will be betrayed, you will not have mouth to say anything. There you will collapse and go and they will announce that so-so person has died,” Wike stated.
“That is the seed you have planted and whatever you plant, you will reap. Since you are planting betrayal, betrayal will follow you everywhere.”
Remarks Target Political Opponents
Although Wike did not mention any individual by name during his speech, his comments come amid ongoing political tensions in Rivers State.
The minister referred to governors seeking second terms and those attempting to install successors, warning that anyone supporting betrayal would not succeed.
“Every governor who is doing a second tenure, governor who has ambition to put a successor and is supporting betrayal, you will never survive it,” he said.
Continuing Political Disputes
Wike’s statement highlights the persistent political disagreements within Rivers State and among members of the ruling political structure.
His latest comments reflect the deep divisions that have characterised political alignments in the state in recent years.
The FCT minister remains one of the most influential political figures from the South-South region and continues to play an active role in national and state politics.
