Political drama is heating up as former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, boldly declared that his party has been “reclaimed,” taking a direct swipe at members who recently defected.

According to our correspondents, Wike made the strong statement while addressing loyalists, insisting that those who abandoned the party played no real role in its foundation or growth.

In a fiery tone, the outspoken politician dismissed the defectors as inconsequential, stressing that their exit has only strengthened the party’s core structure rather than weakening it.

The comments have since stirred reactions across political circles, with analysts suggesting the remarks signal deeper internal battles and a looming power play ahead of future elections.

Wike’s declaration is already reshaping conversations within the party, as supporters rally behind his stance while critics question the implications of his hardline position.

With tensions rising, observers say this could mark the beginning of a fresh political showdown, as loyalty, control, and influence take center stage.
