…Says; FCT minister has been thrown under the bus
Former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Ms. Lauretta Onochie, has said that with Governor Siminalayi Fubara as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, he will become the godfather of Nyesom Wike before the end of 2026.
Onochie also said that Governor Fubara will nominate the replacement of Wike in President Bola Tinubu’s Cabinet. The minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, who is still clinging to being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but supports President Tinubu and the APC.
Onochie, who was Senior Special Assistant to late President Muhammadu Buhari, noted that President Tinubu and Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, have thrown Wike under the bus and given the keys to Governor Fubara.
Onochie, in a post on Sunday, January 4, 2026, pointedly told Wike that he has been buried politically already.
According to Onochie; “Not only have @officialABAT and @Hope_Uzodinma 1 thrown you under the bus, the keys of the bus were handed over to @SimFubaraKSC.
“How he drives the bus depends on how much of your pride you can swallow.
“Now, let me break it down for you.
“Fubara may get back the six months you and Pres Tinubu stole from him.
“Then Fubara will get a second term.
“Fubara will nominate your replacement before the end of 2026.
“Fubara is your new Godfather,” she enthused.
